What we do
Our principle objective is to offer help and support to those with ME/CFS and their families.
However, more recently the role of the group has widened as we felt that it was necessary to take a more pro-active and re-active line regarding the issues surrounding this illness. Therefore we now also try to inform and educate any interested party, including health professionals and the media, through the distribution of relevant information.
We have lobbied local Members of Parliament to influence a change in policies and as a result several of them have become patrons of the group.
We hold regular monthly, informal meetings (except in December) in a comfortable, accessible venue and occasionally have invited speakers.
Membership is free and a newsletter is issued quarterly also without charge to group members.
