Our income in 2019

Last updated: 10th November 2020

We are always looking for new donors and new funding partners, so if you want to be part of the global movement to beat MS you can donate here. For larger donations or to discuss longer term partnerships please contact Luke Thomas by email or calling +44 (0)20 7620 1911.

If you want to take part in a fundraising event or organise your own event please visit Against MS, where you can create your own personalised fundraising page and get support in your fundraising. Or if you are a dedicated cyclist you could register for Cykelnerven, Europe’s toughest charity cycling event that takes on the toughest peaks of the Tour de France just two weeks before the professionals. For help with any events please contact Daniel Magson by email or by calling +44 (0)20 7620 1911.
