New downloadable booklet for Carers!
The ME Association and the 25% ME Group have worked together to create this new guide for carers, especially carers of people with Severe and Very Severe ME.
Caring is vitally important but it can be quite isolating and, if you are new to caring, it can be hard knowing what to do. We understand the difficulties of being a carer and are here to help.

BBC slammed by Ross Greer live on air over framing of racist disorder in Belfast “Those were racist rioters. If you're burning the houses down of people who are not white, you are a racist rioter, you're a criminal, you are a scumbag.”
Greer added: “The BBC should not be legitimizing these people by calling them anti-immigration campaigners.
