Our members are at the centre of everything we do. Members inform our decisions, conduct interviews with leading MS researchers and generate content for our website and social media channels.
Our volunteers keep Shift.ms alive and breathing, which is why we call them ‘The Energy’. We have over 200 volunteers who offer their time in various ways.
