WELCOME

Welcome to the website for young people in the North East affected by ME/CFS. The young people’s group was formed in 1995 and over the years, supported by BBC Children in Need, it has grown in strength and numbers. We currently have over 400 members up to the age of 25 years – the more members we have, the stronger the voice for young people with ME in the North East! We hope you find the following information useful.

Aims and Objectives

  • Reduce isolation
  • Increase self esteem
