About our events
Virtual social events:
Each month, we host a number of virtual social events where young adults living with MS can connect in a safe and supportive environment on zoom. These events are relaxed and informal but only open to people aged 18-35 living with MS in the UK. Our events include:
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.
Time To Talk
This event is a drop in session where you can talk about anything on your mind. It’s a great chance to meet other young adults living with MS in a safe and relaxed environment.
The event runs for 45 minutes but is a drop in session so there’s no need to stay for the full time.
Let’s Connect
Connecting with others who live with MS can help us feel seen and supported. So why not join our Let’s Connect event? Simply grab a cup of tea and connect over specific topics related to young adults and MS in a relaxed space.
The event is ran by a qualified therapist, mental health practitioner, and facilitator. They will be there to manage the timings and structure of the group but will not offer any official therapeutic intervention.
The support group will last 1 hour with breaks and will offer people a chance to share their experiences, offer advice, and be heard.
MS Together Book Club
Every 6 weeks our Book Club events allow young adults living with MS to come together for an hour to connect with likeminded individuals. During the event attendees will discuss the previous months book, and to choose the next book.
Online Board 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.
