Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological condition that affects the central nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibres, causing communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body.

Symptoms of MS can vary widely and may include fatigue, difficulty walking, numbness or tingling, muscle weakness, vision problems and problems with balance and coordination.

MS is diagnosed through a combination of neurological exams, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and sometimes lumbar punctures (spinal taps) to analyse cerebrospinal fluid.

We offer a range of services including a drop-in centre, educational resources and range of therapies.  Come and visit us and see what we have to offer.  

We recommend that you contact us and arrange to come for a visit to our Centre.  A member of our team will show you around and explain the range of services we offer.  You will also get to meet other members as our drop-in centre is very popular. 

No, we welcome people with any long term health condition, as well as those with MS.  We also welcome family members and friends and the centre is a source of support for those supporting people with MS or long term health conditions, as well as those directly affected by them.  

Yes there is a small annual fee for membership which gives you access to our drop-in Centre.  We do have a recommended donations for our therapies but we keep these as low as we can and they are often subsidised.  We can give you more information about this on your visit.
