We support, inform, campaign, and invest in biomedical research…
Subscriptions are a vital part of our charity income and – together with donations – they allow us to help make the UK a better place for people with M.E.
Moreover, the more members we have, the more representative we can be – which is especially useful when we take part in debates, we decide to launch a specific campaign or seek to raise awareness in Government or with medical authorities.
- Read the About section to find our more about the ME Association, what we do and why we do it.
You don't have to be personally affected by M.E. to join the ME Association. Membership is available to carers, family-members, and anyone with a professional interest in the condition.
“If it wasn’t for the ME Association I don’t think I would have been able to move from being very severely ill to where I am today.”
“Members of the charity have been very quick to help me with problems and especially Dr Shepherd, as he is so busy and trying to do so much despite his own poor health. I’m very grateful to all the team.”
“I like and trust that many people working for the ME Association have first-hand knowledge and experience of M.E.”
“I like that it has regular medical input from Dr Shepherd, who seems like a reliable doctor with a thorough knowledge of ME and ongoing interest in current research.”
“The ME Association makes me feel less isolated. I believe that ME is real and physical, and I like that the ME Association is wholeheartedly behind research to prove this.”
