Transforming the world of M.E.

Action for M.E. is the leading UK charity for people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) and their carers.

M.E. is a chronic, fluctuating illness affecting 250,000 people in the UK. It may be diagnosed as Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS). M.E. symptoms may include persistent exhaustion, muscle and/or joint pain, sleep disturbance, feeling ’flu-like and having problems with memory and concentration.

Action for M.E. will provide information and support, while campaigning for better services and more effective treatments and driving and investing in research – until our vision is achieved and M.E. is overcome.

Find out more about us and what we believe about M.E.

Apart from a small grant in Scotland, we receive no government funding and are dependent on charitable donations for all of our work. Please help us to do more. Find out about ways you can help.

Dressing Gown Day

The simple idea of wearing your dressing gown to school or work for a day presents a fun way to get involved in raising awareness - and is a little different from normal 'dress down days.' Many people with M.E. simply don’t have the energy, or are in too much pain, to get out of bed and out of their dressing gown each day. For a Dressing Gown Day pack or for more information, please contact our Community Fundraiser.

Welfare Rights Line

Our Welfare Rights Line offers information and advice on welfare benefits, disability discrimination, employment and insurance issues.

For general telephone enquiries on M.E.-related issues you can call our office on 0117 927 9551 or 0845 123 2380 (lo-call) or use the Search button or links on this page to Get Informed, Get Help or Get Involved.
