Action for ME

Action for ME Logo

Action for ME is the only charity in the UK providing support, including healthcare, to people of all ages affected by ME.

As an organisation providing direct support and working to secure long-term change, we've been working to improve every aspect of life with ME since 1987.

But we know securing change isn't simple.

That's why we take a holistic approach so we can make an impact on multiple fronts - from amplifying the voices of people affected by ME in Government and leading on breakthrough research, to providing "lifeline" support and unique healthcare services on a daily basis.
