Owned by the Multiple Sclerosis Society, Woodlands exists to provide high quality respite care for people affected by multiple sclerosis in a warm, friendly and caring environment, offering support and motivation, and promoting each person's individuality, privacy, dignity, choice and rights.

Our Resource Centre was added in 2003 to enable Woodlands to more widely share the specialist MS knowledge gained through the Respite Care Centre.

Respite Care Review - Update

The MS Society’s Board of Trustees has announced that the Society will no longer directly provide residential respite care and will instead move to a more personalised system of support.

However Woodlands is currently open for business and your booking is not affected.
