ME Awareness Month
Despite the inclement weather, we had a successful information stall in the centre of Kingston on Saturday, 8 May. It felt more like February than May so we really do appreciate everyone who came and helped. Heather did a terrific job with the stall, complete with the Group banner and sheltering gazebo and plenty of leaflets both from national ME Groups and our local materials. Thanks too to Heather's family for helping to set it all up and take it down again.
Kingston was quite crowded and we were able to hand out lots of leaflets to ‘spread the word’ about ME, and will have several new members as a direct result of our efforts. We have succeeded in educating many more members of the public about what ME is and that there is a support group locally if anyone needs us.
A surprising number of people knew someone with ME, and took a leaflet to pass on to them and we also had interest from some people with ME themselves, together with a few people employed in health or social care who knew people with ME.
