About this event

  • Event lasts 6 hours
  • Ages 18+
  • Free venue parking

World MS Day is observed globally on May 30th each year. The day aims to raise awareness of multiple sclerosis and bring together those living with it to share their stories. This year's theme is My Diagnosis: Navigating MS Together.

MS Society Scotland and Revive MS Support are teaming up to host an event which reflects this important theme. On the day, we will be looking at navigating life with MS, specifically around physical, mental, and financial wellbeing.

The event is for anyone living with multiple sclerosis as well as carers, family members, and friends. There will be a variety of talks, practical sessions, and the opportunity to ask questions but also share your experience of living well with MS.

Refreshments and lunch are provided; do please advise us of any special dietary requirements at the time of booking your place.

The venue is accessible with free on-site parking available.

What should I do if I can no longer attend?

Please ensure you cancel your booking as spaces are limited and someone else may be able to benefit.
