Multiple sclerosis is a complex condition which can impact many facets of life. MS Auckland has been helping people navigate through home life, transport, social service, employment, wellbeing, lifestyle, fatigue, mobility, housing and more for over 50 years.
Our specialised experience of helping people living with MS in Auckland helps people feel in control of their MS journey. Our community connections and support programmes help with resilience and confidence. We know the value in sharing tips and tricks – and even a laugh – with others who simply ‘get it’.
MS Auckland exists to help you, whether you are:
MS Auckland’s kaupapa (founding principles) are:
MS Auckland was founded by Alice and Bill Cole in 1964, with a voluntary field officer. It became an Incorporated Society in March 1965. It now has eight staff members, around 40 volunteers in ongoing roles and is overseen by a voluntary Board.
Through the individualised guidance of our Community Advisor service, support and connection programmes, information events and workshops, we have been able to pursue our vision of people with MS ‘Living a full life’. We support people with multiple sclerosis, and their whānau, friends, carers and employers.
There are three primary aspects to the work that MS Auckland does – inform and guide, support & connect, and promote wellness.
Trustworthy: Recognising individual and collective power, engaged, mana-enhancing, integrity
Warm: Watchful, caring, helpful, everyone matters, sociable, friendly, positive and supportive
Whanaungatanga: Recognising the importance of relationships and connectedness, collaborative and inclusive
“Having that sense of connection and the fact you are not alone is both humbling and empowering”
We warmly welcome you to join MS Auckland – free of charge, without commitment, and with full respect for your privacy.
