Siân Berry MP joins our Parliamentary Champions network

We're delighted to announce Siân Berry MP as our newest Parliamentary Champion!

Speaking on the announcement, Siân said:

"I’m proud to become a Parliamentary Champion for Action for ME. With the rise in the number of people living with ME and Long Covid, it’s vital that government policy reflects the realities of these illnesses. Recent rhetoric around welfare reform risks overlooking the impact of the pandemic, these illnesses and stigmatising those who need support. I’m committed to working cross-party to push for fairer policies and ensure the voices of people with ME are heard in Westminster."

We would like to thank Siân for her dedication to supporting people with ME and we look forward to working with her.

What does a Parliamentary Champion do?

Our network of Parliamentary Champions are our 'go-to' individuals when engaging with Government and building support for our campaigns more broadly in Parliament and beyond.

They help us in a number of ways, including:

• tabling written and oral questions on ME
• tabling and supporting debates on ME
• sponsoring events in Parliament.
• writing opinion pieces for national and local press.
