Action for ME

Our vision is a world without Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME). Our mission is to improve the lives of people affected by ME. Better meeting their needs today while taking action to secure change for tomorrow. Action for ME is the only charity in the UK providing support, including healthcare, to people of all ages affected by ME. 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.

We are here for anyone living with or supporting someone with ME of any age, anywhere in the UK. You are not alone.

Contact us for free information, support and resources about any aspect of ME, or to set up an appointment with our free Advocacy service for adults and young people; or our Family Support service for parents. You can also join one of our free online peer-support forums.

We also offer Healthcare Services for ME. Our clinical includes a doctor, physiotherapists, counsellors and chaplains, offering individually tailored whole-person care. As a charity, we charge fees for our Healthcare Services only to cover our costs, and a bursary for up to 50% of fees may be available, depending on your circumstances.
