ME & CFS information for all<\/em><\/strong><\/h2>\n

10 years of campaigning for better services and talking to people with ME, carers and professionals has shown us that accurate information about ME is not reaching those who need it.\u00a0 During ME Awareness week WAMES launched a campaign to provide better information in Welsh and English for all who need it, beginning with our new website.\u00a0 We are using research results, clinicians\u2019 experience and patient and carer stories to produce information sheets on a wide range of topics. These will become available on the website throughout the year, funded by the Big Lottery Fund. We invite people to contact us to let us know how we can meet your information needs.<\/p>\n
