Merry Christmas from WAMES

WAMES wishes you the best possible Christmas & New Year festivities!   Thank you for your support in 2025.

WAMES volunteers, both people with ME and carers, will be taking some much needed time off over the festive period so we can start the new year refreshed (hopefully!).
