This week Mary Devereux reflects on her journey with MS and the things she wished she had known when diagnosed.

This week Joan Jordan reflects on Christmas and why she has decided to spend this festive period with her family away from home.

Willeke Van Eeckhoutte shares her thoughts and hopes on International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD).

In usual times, MS Ireland’s network of Regional Community Workers would arrange a programme locally for those who have recently received a diagnosis of MS. This programme normally aims to give people newly diagnosed with MS information and tools to help them navigate their new diagnosis.

While physical events were not possible for the majority of 2020, we recognise that this programme is still essential for those newly diagnosed with MS. In November 2020, the North Dublin and Fingal Region arranged a virtual Newly Diagnosed Programme which was facilitated on Zoom.

Willeke Van Eeckhoutte looks at the important contribution and benefits of volunteering.
