In 2001 the Society for Mucopolysaccharide Diseases launched a capital fund to be used to create a centre as a national source of authoritative advice and information, a place where learning and teaching about MPS and Related Lysosomal Storage Diseases can be shared, and a focal point for the UK-wide MPS Society.

After much searching, the MPS Society has found just the right building. The first floor provides ample space for the Society to provide all its advocacy and support services whilst the ground floor will provide a modest conference area and training resource plus library area.

We want the MPS centre to be vibrant, motivating and exciting, welcoming and involving, a ‘heart and home’ for the MPS community whether that is affected children and adults and their families and carers or any of the many professionals in healthcare, education, social services and the pharmaceutical industry that work with us.

MPS House is ideally situated for motorway access and public transport to all parts of the United Kingdom as well as to London, Heathrow and Luton airports.

The MPS centre will be fully accessible to visitors and we offer a warm welcome to everyone either contacting MPS remotely or visiting the MPS National Centre.

The Society would like to thank the following donors for their contribution to the development of a dedicated resource for MPS and Related Diseases: Jeans for Genes, BioMarin Europe Ltd., Shire Human Genetic Therapies UK Ltd., Actelion Pharmaceuticals UK Ltd., The Foyle Foundation, John Lewis Partnership High Wycombe.

The conference and library facilities at MPS House can also be hired out. Please click here for more information or email us at meetings@mpssociety.co.uk.
