Have you ever felt judged for using accessible facilities? 📣

A concerning 51% of people living with MS have avoided using accessible facilities—such as toilets, Blue Badge parking spaces or priority seats on public transport—because they fear being questioned, challenged or judged. These services exist to support people with MS, yet incorrect assumptions are preventing many from using them.

Living with MS is challenging, and this MS Awareness Week, we want to highlight the harm that these assumptions can cause.

We are encouraging people to listen, learn and understand MS before saying something that could hurt or offend.
