Armed Forces Multiple Sclerosis Support Group

Mutual Support is a vital lifeline for service personnel, veterans & their dependants living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). The 1200 strong group offers a uniquely understanding & inclusive network. Founded in 1991 to address the specific challenges faced by military personnel with MS, from deployments, to medical discharges, applying for benefits and beyond.

Run entirely by volunteers who live with MS themselves, Mutual Support offers empathy, practical assistance and reassurance. We restore military level support and care not just for the Booty, Crab and Jack Tar but for their families too.
