We hold a monthly meeting at the Mountbatten Centre in Portsmouth, where anyone who has a connection with MS to get free advice, support etc no matter if they are the person with MS or their relatives, friends & carers, the information meetings are presented by organisations who are invited to talk about how they can help those affected, which comes to be very well accepted and appreciated, we have speakers from Social Services, D.W.P., MS Tissue Bank who cover research on MS

The group has helped the community in such a way where people with the illness, find it hard to come to terms with it after being diagnosed, or just to the point where they find it hard to communicate with family and friends about the ir condition, but also the relatives & friends can talk to others & find hwo to talk about the illness without upsetting anyone, as it can have a stressful time for all involved, so knowing that here is someone out there to talk.

Since setting up the group, we have interest from other parts of the UK, on how we set ourselves up & what we do, since then other groups have been set up by people who deal with MS on a daily basis, either as a patient, relative, carer along with their own local Community NHS support teams, to which we have found it very rewarding that we can help others in different parts of the UK to set their own groups up.
