Our BBC Lifeline Appeal continues to make impact

22 May 2026

Our BBC Lifeline Appeal has now finished, but the impact continues.

Thanks to your support, we reached hundreds of thousands of people on social media alone, introduced many new people to Action for ME, and helped bring the realities of ME to mainstream TV audiences across the UK.

We don't have a final fundraising total yet, but we are incredibly grateful for every donation and every share, comment and interaction that helped amplify the voices of people with ME.

Our appeal film is now available to watch on our YouTube channel.

If you would still like to support us, donations to our campaign will remain open until the end of May. You can donate via our website.

We wish to say a huge thank you to everyone who supported our BBC Lifeline Appeal!
