Our members are at the centre of everything we do. Members inform our decisions, conduct interviews with leading MS researchers and generate content for our website and social media channels.
Our Shift.ms Ambassadors are here to help with questions, queries and advice. You can message them directly or part of a group chat, using their usernames below.
“I held my head and cried upon my diagnosis of MS. I had no idea what it was, what was happening, or what was to come. As Shift.ms Ambassador I hope to show that you can live with MS."
“I am an aspiring DJ, music addict, festival goer and MS home yoga ‘master’ (according to my cat). I want to show fellow MSers that the sky is the limit, as long as we keep following our dreams and passions.”
“I’ve been the beneficiary of the amazing work that Shift.ms does and now I have the opportunity to drive and influence the future of the charity. I can’t wait!”
“I love chatting to fellow MSers and sharing my experiences; ultimately to give people hope, especially to those who may feel like they’re free-falling after getting their very own MS diagnosis.”
“Connecting with other MSers has been a crucial part of my experience navigating life with MS. Being an ambassador will allow me to help connect more people with a community of fellow MSers."
Our volunteers keep Shift.ms alive and breathing, which is why we call them ‘The Energy’. We have over 200 volunteers who offer their time in various ways.
