On-site Information Centre

The MS Resource Centre exists to offer opportunities and choice to anyone affected by MS, their families and carers. Whether you are newly diagnosed or not, finding out information about living with MS can be daunting. The MS Resource Centre can support you as you find your way through all of the available information.

When using the MS Resource Centre you have the choice of how you access the information you are looking for, using the format you find most useful: telephone, face-to-face, email or written. This enables people of all abilities to access the available information equally.

The MS Resource Centre can enable you to find out about opportunities, choices and information that you need.

The MS Resource Centre provides a free and confidential service staffed by trained volunteers and professionals, who are able to support you in your search for information. The service is for anyone affected by MS, his or her family, friends and carers. It is also for health and social care professionals who work with people affected by MS. All enquiries will be dealt with in a sensitive manner and you will be kept informed of all progress regarding your enquiry.

The MS Resource Centre holds a large collection of reference materials and leaflets as well as the latest research news that relates to varied aspects of living with MS. We offer free Internet searching to enable all our enquirers to find out more information about living with MS. Our volunteers are trained in searching the Internet.

The MS Resource Centre is open every Tuesday (2.00pm – 7.00pm), Thursday (10.00am - 2.00pm), and the first Saturday of every month (10.00am - 2.00pm). No appointment is necessary; you are welcome to call in during this time or to telephone 01904 430600. Alternatively you can fax your query to 01904 430055, or email us at msresource@woodlands.org.uk
