West London M.E. Group
Aiming to reduce M.E.'s impact on our lives
About Us
We welcome anyone with M.E., LC or an associated chronic condition, wherever you're from.
We're a volunteer-run peer-support group run from South West & West London.
We originated as two groups, covering the London boroughs of Richmond, Kingston, Hounslow, Ealing, Hillingdon and Hammersmith.
Nowadays we welcome members who join us online from far & wide. We have members from Scotland to the Isle of Wight!
Our purpose is to reduce the 'aloneness' of ME, provide support and information, reach new members, improve treatment and services and raise public awareness of the illness and its devastating effect on lives.
We aim to be a positive, uplifting and informative group. Many of us have made new friends through joining the group and find the support and understanding of other members to be of great help in coping with this most isolating of illnesses.
