M.E. (Myalgic Encephalopathy) Association

We provide information, support and practical advice for people who are affected by ME/CFS/PVFS (Myalgic Encephalopathy/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome/Post Viral Fatigue Syndrome), their families and carers. We also fund and support research, and offer education and training.

We are heavily involved through our Ramsay Research Fund in funding physical research into ME/CFS.

Our ME Connect telephone helpline is open every day 10am-12noon, 2-4pm and 7-9pm. Please call 0844 576 5326 for information and support.

We provide an email helpline to give out information. Emails will be responded to as soon as possible between 9am and 5pm on weekdays, excluding public holidays.

Hampshire Friends with M.E.

Our friendly support group is run by and for sufferers of ME/CFS and their carers and families. We currently have over 250 members across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and run meetings and events via our network of branches across the county. We produce regular newsletters and bulletins and, among other services for members, run a contact list and telephone support line.

On this site you will find information about ME/CFS, details about our network of local groups (including a 16-30 group for young adults), latest group events and some items from our bi-monthly newsletter.

The aims of the group are:

• To give support, information and help when needed
• To raise awareness of M.E./C.F.S.
• To put people in touch with each other
• To produce a newsletter to be sent to all members
• To promote and publicise both the Group and other local and national groups supporting people with M.E./C.F.S.
