About

People living with MS across Lancaster Morecambe and the Bay area tell us they would like to access more local social and exercise activities, as well as being able to access specific expertise such as benefits advice, housing and employment advice and counselling. However they also say they don’t know where these services are, how to find out about or if they meet their needs.

This free online session is primarily for organisations that offer the types of services mentioned above, but anyone with an interest in MS is also welcome. The same session is running twice, so choose the most convenient for you.

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a condition that affects your brain and spinal cord. This causes a range of symptoms like blurred vision and problems with how we move think and feel, symptoms vary in individuals. It is usually progressive and there is no current cure.

There are estimated to be over 600 people living with MS across Lancaster and the Bay area, this increases many times when you take into account the people around them such as friends, family and carers who are also impacted.

The session will deal with:

• what Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is
• how it affects people
• how to support someone with MS to access the service you offer (e.g. social and exercise activities, advice on benefits, housing and employment, counselling)
• MS-friendly services on the Lancaster Community Directory of Services (directory.lancastercvs.org.uk)

Click the button to book your free place on either the 2.30 p.m. or the 7 p.m. session (they are the same – just choose the more convenient time for you), and you will be sent a link to the session.
