Action for M.E.

Who we are

Action for ME is the only charity in the UK providing support, including healthcare, to people of all ages affected by ME.

As an organisation providing direct support and working to secure long-term change, we've been working to improve every aspect of life with ME since 1987.

But we know securing change isn't simple.

That's why we take a holistic approach so we can make an impact on multiple fronts - from amplifying the voices of people affected by ME in Government and leading on breakthrough research, to providing "lifeline" support and unique healthcare services on a daily basis.

Our culture and values

Shared values are held with high regard in our organisation and reflect how we seek to work with our supporters, partners and other key stakeholders.

They reflect the attitudes, beliefs and behaviour that we value in each other and underpin our whole approach and culture.

Collaboration

We will work collaboratively and inclusively with others to take action and achieve change.

Empathy

Most of our Trustees, and many of our staff team, have direct experience of ME themselves. Our collective, deep-rooted empathy is at the heart of our work.

Equity

We believe that everyone deserves fair and just access to resources, services, and opportunities. We are committed to identifying and addressing barriers that contribute to inequalities experienced by people affected by ME.
