Welcome To Our Web Site
The Wellington Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Society Inc, is one of 18 regional societies throughout New Zealand, looking after the needs of Persons with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS) and other allied neurological diseases.
The Wellington Society is a not-for-profit organisation, devoted to supporting through their two community workers, those with MS, their carers and their families. Since a cure is still far off our principal mission is to maximise their quality of life through information and personal support and to facilitate the provision of all appropriate health and welfare services available. Our aim is to provide a maximum knowledge, informal and confidential service.
