A NEW social group for people with MS is being launched.

The Friday Support and Social group for Multiple Sclerosis (MS) sufferers will meet for the first time at the Newton Grange pub, in Brasside, Durham City, on Friday, February 28, from 5pm to 8pm.

Alistair Crisp, from the group, said: “This is a great opportunity to drop in for a cup of tea or coffee or something stronger and meet new friends who understand what it’s like to have MS.

“Support volunteers are there for you if you need any information or guidance. All are welcome including carers, friends or family especially those members living in and around Durham City.”
