At the MS Society we put people living with MS at the centre of everything we do, and it’s this commitment that unites us across the UK.

Our vision is a world free from the effects of MS. Our ultimate goal is to find a cure. But until then, we will do all that we can to enable people with MS to live life, knowing that they do not have to face MS alone.

We have a strategy that is based on what people with MS have told us is important to them, and it gives us a clear and determined focus. We have big aspirations and we need brilliant new people to help us achieve our ambitious goals.

We're currently looking for an excellent Fundraising Manager who is eager to take the lead in implementing our well-established fundraising strategy in Wales.
