Our Activities
Campaigns
We are a campaigning organisation, seeking to influence the development of health, social care and education policy in Wales in the interests of all people with ME & CFS and their carers. We also campaign outside Wales on issues directly affecting Welsh residents.
We consult with people with ME & CFS and their carers to establish key concerns and determine priorities. WAMES’ Campaigns
Consultations
We respond to selected consultations which will have implications for people with ME & CFS and their carers. We also take part in occasional surveys on issues relevant to the voluntary sector. WAMES’ consultation responses
