Community Advisor
Our Community Advisor is the front-facing support for people living with multiple sclerosis and their whānau. She works directly with clients, offering guidance, linking them to health and community services, and ensuring they never feel isolated. Her role is about building connections, strengthening wellbeing, and walking alongside people throughout their MS journey.
Office and Funding Manager
Office & Funding Manager works behind the scenes to keep the Society running smoothly. She manages administration and funding so that services are consistent and accessible. By handling the background work, she enables the society to focus fully on supporting members and their families.
