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.

Fundraising

For those without support, the challenges of our service personnel, veterans & their dependants living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can be incredible lonely and devastate the wellbeing of everyone in their family.

On the 15th December 2025, Jill Watson (Events Mgr) and Jim Watson (Group Coordinator) were invited to receive two donations from the Freemasons at their Lodge in Lincoln. Stephen Hallberg, Provincial Grand Master for the Provincial Mark Grand Lodge of Lincolnshire presented a cheque for £1000 and Mike Bull from the North Midlands District of Royal and Select Masters presented a cheque for £500.

Mutual Support is extremely grateful for their kind donations, which will be used to provide our young people with the opportunity to participate in activities at Lea Green in April 2026.

The Masons are a fantastic organisation who do amazing work and never boast about it. They are regularly the first to offer funds for disaster relief, such as the hurricane in Jamaica. Thank you the Masons, we are very grateful. For more information about the Freemasons and specifically the Lodge we went to, go to: markmmlincs.org.uk
