Welcome To The Bristol ME Support Group

The Bristol ME Support Group is a patients’ organisation run by people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis. It was formed in 1988 and has a membership of about 200 drawn from both Bristol itself and the surrounding local areas. But this is the tip of the iceberg; many hundreds of people have received information, help and support.

What Does the Bristol ME Support Group offer?

  • Regular printed newsletters designed to both inform and amuse. Including keeping people up to date with the latest developments in research and treatments.
  • Neighbourhood link groups in the Bristol area. These allow members to meet and keep in touch locally.
  • A Telephone and/or email Contact List, which is particularly useful for housebound members.
  • Our M.E. Patients Art Group. (Meet once per month.)

*Please note: Help is always needed to run the group, and contributions for the newsletter etc. as well as fundraising ideas are particularly welcomed.
