There are now two simple ways you can help us for free every time you use the internet! Click here for more details
Each year we organise events to raise funds and to increase awareness of ME. We focus especially on ME Awareness Week each May (10th – 16th this year), but also at other times too. Many of our ME members and families have organised their own activities and functions, for which we are extremely grateful.
The following dates will give you an insight of events you may wish to participate in (or delegate your family member/friends to!), and to give us the chance to thank all those who have participated in the past. If you have ideas of your own – we are more than happy to help you no matter how large or small – please give us a call on 0191 3892222. |
