Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week runs from 19 to 25 April 2026, a week dedicated to raising awareness of MS and supporting people living with the condition.
When is Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week?
Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Week is held in April (April 19-25). It is one of the many UK awareness days that bring people together around a shared cause — see the full calendar.
