Our MS Befriending Service

Our new Befriending service gives you the opportunity to have a weekly phone call with your matched volunteer for 12 weeks.

We know from calls to our MS Helpline that many people in our MS community continue to feel isolated at the moment. Social contact is more important but lots of us still have limited access to the outside world.

Please fill out the form below and we'll get back in touch to match you with a volunteer who will call you every week for 12 weeks, and you can chat about anything you want.
