Events
Our online and in-person events offer a unique opportunity to connect, share, and learn about topics related to MS. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living with MS for years, there’s something here for everyone!
Virtual Events
Each month, we host a number of virtual social events, webinars and workshops where young adults living with MS can connect in a safe and supportive environment on Zoom.
Our virtual social events are only open to people aged 18-35 living with MS in the UK and Ireland, but our workshops and webinars are open to friends, family, carers, and healthcare professionals.
What you can expect
We offer a range of virtual social events, workshops and webinars, all designed to offer support and information to those impacted by MS.
We encourage you to join us and take advantage of these valuable resources – whether it’s for practical information, emotional support, or simply to meet others who understand what you’re going through.
Virtual Social Events
With many led by our amazing volunteers, these social events are a safe space to connect with others, share your experiences, get advice, and find motivation with others who understand what you’re going through.
Welcome to MS Together
This event is aimed at people who are new to the MS Together community and allows them to introduce themselves, ask questions and find out about the services we offer.
It’s also a great chance to meet other young adults living with MS in a safe and relaxed environment. The event is usually held on a weekday evening for 1 hour but is a drop in session so there’s no need to stay for the full hour.
If you’re interested in joining, sign up via Eventbrite
Book Club
Our book club allows young adults living with MS to come together for an hour with like minded individuals. During the event attendees will discuss the previous month’s book(s), and choose the next book(s). This event is not listed on our Eventbrite. If you’re interested in joining Book Club, email us hello@mstogether.org.
Please note: You’ll need to source the books yourself. Generally, they are available for £1 or less, whether you’re buying the book or downloading it digitally. You can access this on Kindle, Audible, or as a paperback copy – the choice is yours.
Games Night
Connecting with others who live with MS can help us feel seen and supported. So if you’re looking to meet others and have some fun, join our Board Games Evening on the last Friday of every month.
It’s a relaxed event where members come together to play a variety of games on Discord such as Uno, Codenames, Sushi Go, and Saboteur. If you’re interested in joining Games Night, sign up via Eventbrite.
Film Club
Our film club allows young adults living with MS to come together for an hour with like minded individuals. During the event attendees will discuss the previous month’s film(s), and choose the next film(s). If you’re interested in joining Film Club, sign up via Eventbrite.
