Action for ME

Meeting the needs of people affected by ME today, taking action to secure change for tomorrow.


Action for ME is the UK’s leading charity for all people affected by ME. Positioned at the intersection of direct support and long-term change, we’ve been working to improve every aspect of life with ME since 1987.  We believe real change won’t just happen; it has to be made. That’s why action and impact are at the heart of everything we do. Whether that’s helping people today with support, information and care, or working towards securing change through lobbying, campaigning and funding breakthrough research. The intent of everything we do is to pursue positive impact for the lives, rights and futures of people affected by ME.


How Your Support Helps

£500 could provide 5 hours of support to a person with severe ME by a trained information and support worker
£1,000 could provide support to two families by a skilled practitioner, who can help them care for their sick child 
£1,800 could remove barriers to a person with ME influencing a research project, ensuring they are fairly supported to participate in a steering group
