PAMS Support Group
(Positive Action for
MS)
For people living
with Multiple Sclerosis
(Covering the Royal Borough of
Kingston-upon-Thames,
PAMS is a self-help group for anyone
living with MS.
We began
as a self-help group particularly for young, newly diagnosed people and their
families and friends. Some of us are perhaps not “young” any more, but most of
us are young-at-heart and some of us are newly diagnosed!
When and Where to find PAMS?
At
“PAMS PM” from 8pm on the first
Wednesday of the month at The Cap in Hand Public House, Hook Rise, Surbiton (by
the Hook (Ace of Spades) roundabout – off the A3 at Hook Junction)
At
“TT Get-togethers” (Third Tuesdays
Get-togethers!) every third Tuesday of the month (except December) from
midday in the Seasons Coffee Shop, Squires Garden Centre,
Woodstock Lane North, Long Ditton.
If
possible, please ring Helen by
What does PAMS do?
At PAMS PM, we mostly meet informally once a month but
sometimes have a speaker.
TT
Get-togethers are strictly social J!
