Who we are
The Sunderland and South Tyneside ME/CFS Support group is a locally based independent, charitable organisation that is run by volunteers, the majority of whom have ME/CFS.
The group was founded in 1987 as an associate of a national organisation. The founders, a small number of volunteer sufferers and carers, set out to provide support for the increasing number of people diagnosed with the condition. In August 2000 the group re-launched and successfully attained independent charitable status.
One of the largest support groups in the North -East we attract members from both the local and regional areas and as such offer an "open door" policy to any interested parties. Some members who are unable to attend our meetings stay in touch by telephone, fax, post and e mail and are kept informed through our quarterly newsletter.
