Our Vision and Aim

Our Vision

Our Vision is for a Wales where adults and children with ME and CFS and their carers are taken seriously and treated with respect, where diagnosis, treatment and services are accessible without a battle.

Our aim

The Welsh Association of ME & CFS Support is a voluntary organisation which gives a national voice to people with ME & CFS in Wales, their carers and families, in order to improve services, access to services, awareness and support.

We do this by:

• campaigning for recognition of ME as a neurological illness in line with the WHO classification and the results of biomedical research
• campaigning for appropriate health, education, social care services, benefits and research
• raising awareness of ME
• offering support to young people with ME
• providing information in Welsh and English for people with ME, their families & professionals
• aiding local support groups
