MS Awareness Information Day
Friday 29th May 2026. 10:30am-2:30pm
FREE
Everyone is invited to join us for a free Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Conference focused on connection, understanding, and support. Lunch included.
This year’s theme is Diagnosis, exploring the journey from first symptoms to finding answers.
We’ll be sharing real experiences through our campaign: “My MS Diagnosis” - because every story deserves to be heard.
Together, we’ll learn from individuals with MS, families, and professionals -building awareness, reducing stigma, and strengthening support.
Let’s stand with the MS community and raise our voices together.
