Our newest Parliamentary Champion: Max Wilkinson MP

14 February 2025

We're delighted to announce Max Wilkinson MP as our latest Parliamentary Champion!

Max met with our Chief Executive, Sonya, following his local work with Cheltenham ME People to learn more about the daily challenges faced by people with ME, recognising how much more support is required.

"I am pleased to become a Parliamentary Champion for Action for ME. My local work with people with ME in Cheltenham led to the opportunity to meet with Action for ME. During that meeting with Sonya, I was moved by the additional insight and understanding I gained about the challenges faced by people living with ME.

While I welcome the incoming Delivery Plan on ME/CFS, it is clear more must be done to better support people with ME. As an Action for ME Champion, I will support my constituents and those across the country living with ME."

We'd like to thank Max for his dedication to supporting people affected by ME and look forward to working alongside him moving forwards!
