Action for M.E. is the UK's leading charity for people with M.E. We were founded in 1987 by people with M.E. for people with M.E. We continue to be led by people with the illness and their involvement at all levels is vital to the organisation. We've been at the forefront of the campaign for more research, better treatments and services since 1987, and we provide information and support to people affected by M.E. We campaign to improve the environment for people with M.E., and for the widespread recognition of the severity of M.E., and we empower and support people with M.E, their carers, family and friends and professionals, by facilitating information and dissemination and services, so that they can make informed choices.
