Our Vision
Our Vision is for a Wales where adults and children with ME and CFS and their carers are taken seriously and treated with respect, where diagnosis, treatment and services are accessible without a battle.
Our aims
The Welsh Association of ME & CFS Support is a voluntary organisation which gives a national voice to people with ME & CFS in Wales, their carers and families, in order to improve services, access to services, awareness and support.
We do this by:
- campaigning for recognition of ME as a neurological illness in line with the WHO classification and the results of biomedical research
- campaigning for appropriate health, education, social care services, benefits and research
- raising awareness of ME
- offering support to young people with ME
- providing information in Welsh and English for people with ME, their families & professionals
- aiding local support groups
Medical advisers: Dr. Betty Dowsett, Dr. Nigel Speight
Patron: Lord Barry Jones
A brilliant website and a brilliant volunteer organisation.
Well done to all 🙂
