The Movement for Good award will help to speed up the development of a mobile app version of Shift.ms, which will vastly improve accessibility to our supportive community for people diagnosed with MS in the UK and worldwide.
Shift.ms is now the only dedicated digital peer support community for younger people living with MS and the recently diagnosed. Almost 40,000 people use Shift.ms annually, where they can meet and share experiences and advice on a huge range of topics including diagnosis, healthy living, symptoms and treatments - ultimately supporting each other to live well with MS.
Almost 40,000 people use Shift.ms annually. But with over 6,700 people newly diagnosed in the UK every year, and many thousands more internationally, so many more people could benefit from our support. Through the development of our mobile app, the Movement for Good award could be transformative in helping us to reach many more people.
