MS Pioneer - Cutting edge research to Stop MS

In the last decade MS research has accelerated at pace, giving hope to those affected. Twenty years ago there were very limited treatment options, but now there are over a dozen licensed treatments that can reduce the severity and frequency of MS relapses and undoubtedly, the MS Society has been at the forefront of many of these breakthroughs.

PROMISEworks

PROMISEworks

PROMISEworks provides long term volunteer mentoring to children and young people in Somerset.

So often we see young people who due to early trauma from domestic/physical, sexual or emotional abuse are unable to move forward with their lives, or even imagine a future for themselves. When this occurs, we are able to offer a form of coaching which can make a difference to the way a young person thinks and feels and helps them to better manage their emotions - in short to retrain their brains.
