Action for M.E.

Action for M.E. is the leading UK charity for people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.) and their carers. M.E. is a chronic, fluctuating illness affecting 250,000 people in the UK. It may be diagnosed at Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) or Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome (PVFS). M.E. symptoms may include persistent exhaustion, muscle and/or joint pain, sleep disturbance, feeling 'flu-like' and having problems with memory and concentration.

Action for M.E. will provide information and support, while campaigning for better services and more effective treatments and driving and investing in research - until our vision is achieved and M.E. is overcome.

Meningitis Trust

The Meningitis Trust

Meningitis can strike within hours and its effects can last a lifetime. At the Meningitis Trust we offer a range of services. These services offer emotional, practical and financial support to help people rebuild their lives.

As the oldest meningitis charity in the world, our unparalleled range of professional services and community support has been developed using our extensive knowledge of the devastating impact of this disease.

Very often life is never the same after meningitis strikes; for the individual or their family. The Meningitis Trust gives them the strength to rebuild their lives through our unique range of free services and our local support network. Once meningitis strikes, we cannot change what has happened but we give them ways of taking control of their lives once again.
