WHAT IS WAMES?

The Welsh Association of ME & CFS Support is an umbrella body set up by the Welsh ME Support Groups in April 2001. It aims to provide a united voice for people with ME and CFS in Wales.

Our objectives are:

• to campaign within Wales on behalf of ME Groups and sufferers for better health, education, social and welfare services, and research
• to provide a forum for Welsh ME Groups to support each other
• to share information regarding ME in both Welsh and English
• to provide support to young people with ME in Wales

WAMES works in co-operation with other UK ME charities but concentrates specifically on Welsh issues. WAMES is a member of the Wales Neurological Alliance.

WAMES is run by patients and carers, and is funded by local support groups and other donations.
