The MS Society group in Milton Keynes offers opportunities for Friendship, Fitness and Financial support.

The group has regular social events online and in person. We are a mixed bunch of ages and stages of the condition so members will probably meet someone who has shared experiences can offer advice.

We encourage fitness and have two online Pilates classes and hire a swimming pool where members can swim and exercise in an accessible and friendly environment.

We fundraise to pay for these activities and can provide financial support to our members for equipment where appropriate. We also provide support with a referral to fast-track help at the MK Citizens Advice Bureau and have recently launched a Support and Coaching service providing an opportunity to talk through your situation with someone who has knowledge of MS but lends an independent ear and can assist with strategies to move forward.

The afternoon event will be held in the Marriot Delta Hotel, Tongwell Lane, Kents Hill. The event is free to attend but places must be booked in advance.

Limited numbers. Pre book by 13th June
