We are a self-help group supporting people with ME/CFS in Richmond, Kingston, Hounslow, Hillingdon, Hammersmith and Ealing boroughs and the surrounding area (though we have members from Scotland to the Channel Isles and from Wales to Southend). We have a current membership of over 300 members and would like to reach more people with ME and Long Covid, their families and carers. We are a friendly group and will give you a warm welcome.

What we offer?

We offer members support through newsletters, email bulletins, regular social meetings (online and face to face), closed email group for information exchange, postal library and signposting to benefit services. We have run over 500 online meetings in the last five years.
