Navigating public transport with MS Webinar (LWUK)

Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) can bring challenges when it comes to using public transport. Join us for this webinar, where we’ll explore the accessibility schemes and initiatives designed to support your independence and confidence in navigating public transport.

Our expert panel
includes a Benefits Advisor, as well as individuals with MS who have successfully used these schemes to enhance their mobility and quality of life.

We’ll cover national and local programs, including:

• Disabled Person’s Railcard – Offering discounted travel on trains throughout the UK.
• Bus Passes – Eligibility and options for people with disabilities, plus region-specific passes, such as the London Disabled Person’s Freedom Pass.
• Blue Badge Scheme – Learn how this program can support your mobility by providing access to designated parking spaces close to your destination.

What You’ll Gain from This Webinar:

• Insight into schemes you may be eligible for.
• Practical advice on applying for these programs.
• First-hand experiences from people living with MS.

Whether you're looking to become more independent or simply want to know what support is available, this session is a fantastic opportunity to gain valuable knowledge and take the next step toward empowered travel.

Our webinars offer a safe, fact-based space that you can attend anonymously. These events are for anyone affected by MS; whether you are living with MS, a friend, family member, carer, or colleague of someone living with MS or a healthcare professional.
