MS Society: Borders Branch

Our Branch

Mission Statement

A branch of The Multiple Sclerosis Society is a voluntary group committed to working in its community and providing the best possible care and support for people with MS, their families and carers.

Its responsibilities include helping and advising on personal, domestic and other matters, giving financial assistance where appropriate, and arranging social and leisure activities. Absolute confidentiality can be assured.

The Branch is committed to maintaining a strong and active team of volunteers, to raising the funds it needs to carry out its work, and to promoting the society within its area. It is also committed to generating additional donations to help develop and extend the Society's crucial role as the major UK funding body for research into the cause, prevention and treatment of MS, as well as other centrally financed services, such as respite care and holiday homes.

The Committee

The MS Society Borders Branch committee meets once a month, and is made up of volunteers to whom we give great thanks.

Membership

Members receive copies of the branch newsletter and the society's magazine, "MS Matters." Many informative leaflets on topics such as social security benefits, diet, and managing with MS have been published by the MS Society, and can be obtained through the branch. The branch is also able to offer support to people affected by MS, which you can read about by clicking here.
