Croydon Branch Celebrating 50 years.   1956 - 2006

Volunteering Opportunities at the
Croydon Branch of the Multiple Sclerosis Society

The branch is run entirely by volunteers, many of whom have MS themselves, are living with or are close to someone who has MS, or have an interest or commitment to the aims of the Society.

Many people with MS, and their carers, are helped and supported by the MS Society with the help and support of branch volunteers. We are looking for friendly, enthusiastic and committed volunteers to assist us to provide our services to people with MS, and their carers, in Croydon.

Why do people volunteer?

  • to meet new people and make new friends
  • to learn new skills and develop existing ones
  • to be an active member of their local community
  • to help those who need support

If you are looking for fun, challenging and interesting work and you can spare one, two or three hours a week then this could be your chance to help make a difference.
