Why We’re Here

Our mission is simple: to make a difference in the lives of those living with ME. This community was created to provide a private, safe space for sharing experiences, offering support, and finding a sense of belonging. We believe that together, we can find strength, understanding, and hope.

Get Involved – At Your Own Pace

We understand that living with ME can be unpredictable, which is why all of our activities are designed with flexibility in mind. You can participate as much or as little as you feel able.

Upcoming Initiatives:

  • Coffee Mornings: A relaxed, friendly atmosphere to connect, chat, and share experiences over a warm cup of tea or coffee.
  • Days of Action: Join us in making a difference, whether it’s raising awareness or participating in community events.
  • Day Trips & Socials: When energy levels allow, we organize gentle outings to enjoy a change of scenery and social interaction.

Your Voice Matters

This isn’t just my vision – it’s ours. I want this group to reflect the needs and ideas of everyone involved. Have an idea for an event, social, or way to raise awareness? I would love for you to share it! Whether it’s through our Facebook group or at one of our gatherings, your input is invaluable.
