From humble beginnings: In December 1964 a group of local people decided that Bournemouth should have a contact centre for people living with MS.
Our first building was an old hall near Pokesdown but after a few short years we managed to purchase a larger hall in Walpole Road, Boscombe, where we stayed through the 70s and early 80s.
We needed a bigger venue and decided to have a purpose-built centre. Many sites were looked at before Church Lane, West Parley was chosen.

In June 1985, the MS Centre was officially opened.
Our centre has been expanded; our services have been increased and strengthened as we continue to provide a wide range of activities and events to help our members.
​
Over the past 40 years we have supported hundreds of local people living with multiple sclerosis. We want to be there for them for the next 40 years!
