I recently had a mad moment, and thought it would be a good idea for the Guernsey MS Society to have an Instagram account.  I try as often as I can to add something to it, so it would be great if you would follow us.  If you don’t have an Instagram account then it is easy to download the app on either your phone or laptop by visiting   www.instagram.com and creating an account. You never…

Thanks to the people of Guernsey all pulling together, the island is in the enviable position of moving to stage 5 on Saturday allowing normal life to resume, with the exception of travel.   This means that the Movesmart classes will be back to normal times next week.  The first class starting at 9.30am and the second class following at 10.30am.

Good news,  MoveSmart classes are starting again next Wednesday 10th June. The classes will be limited to 5 people, but I don't think that is an issue for us.  If you attended the 9.30am class, then the time has slightly changed to allow a 15min clean before each session.  So the first class is now at 9.15am for an hour, finishing at 10.15am and the second class remains the same at 10.30am. We…

The outpatient clinics  are slowly being restarted and priority will be given to those in difficulties, however numbers for this will be…

It is with much sadness that we report the death of 'Liz' Hendry on 27/04/20. Liz and her late husband Ron had many years of association with MS. Liz ran many of the social events and for over 20 yrs organised the 'coffee afternoons' with her wonderful home made bakes. She was also secretary for several years and supported her husband Ron who was treasurer. She missed Ron terribly when he died…

In these strange and difficult times where, to keep ourselves safe, we are not venturing out of the house much, it is still important we keep moving and exercising as much as possible.
