We have had a number of apologies amongst speakers and participants for the youth wellbeing forum this week so we have decided to postpone to allow everyone who has expressed interest to attend. The new date is Thurs 5th Feb.

We have rescheduled the Eventbrite listing so anyone who already registered can just note the new date in their diary.

We hope the new date with plenty of advance notice will make it possible for a few more folks to join us so here is the link for you to register now if you didn't before

Our first Big Survey in over 5 years launches next week! You can sign up in advance to receive the survey once it's live, head to our web page to find out more: www.actionforme.org.uk/research-campaigns/our-research-work/big-survey/

Some key information 👇
📅Opens 10am, Monday 13th October - 27th January 2026

✅You don't need a formal diagnosis: if you're in the UK and live with ME or Long Covid with ME-like symptoms, you’ll be able to take part

✅All questions are optional, and you can pause and resume later

✅The survey was designed in partnership with people with lived experience of ME and Long Covid and it’s being produced in collaboration with Durham University’s Institute for Medical Humanities.

✅Support filling out the survey will be available for those who need it

✅Data collected will be used to shape our service development, advocacy priorities and research.

Our last Big Survey was completed by over 4,000 children, young people, and adults, in 2019. This year we're focusing on the impact of living with ME - we'll be sharing more once it's live!
