WELCOME

Welcome to the New website for young people in the North East affected by ME/CFS. The young people’s group was formed in 1995 and over the years has grown in strength and numbers. Through BBC Children in Need funding we now have the first in the Country Young People's Development Worker. We currently have over 300 members up to the age of 25 years – the more members we have, the stronger the voice for young people with ME in the North East! We hope you find the following information useful.
