28 April – 04 May
This MS Awareness Week, the UK’s leading MS charities are coming together to encourage everyone to have honest, open #MSConversations.
Talking about multiple sclerosis (MS) isn’t always easy. Whether you’re sharing your diagnosis with a loved one, asking your employer for support, or trying to explain invisible symptoms like fatigue, finding the right words can be tough. But it doesn’t have to be.
We know that MS is different for everyone. But no matter how it affects you, one thing connects us all: conversations. The big ones. The awkward ones. The life-changing ones.
Over the past few months, we’ve been listening to people in the MS community. One thing came through loud and clear — many people want more support to talk about MS with confidence.
That’s why this MS Awareness Week, we’re shining a light on the power of speaking up.
🗣️ Start a conversationWhether it’s with your partner, a colleague, or your GP — take the first step in talking about your MS, your way.
