Hello! Welcome to AYME,

AYME(pronounced ‘aim’) is the largest charity for children and young people with ME/CFS, with over ten years of knowledge and experience about how this illness affects children and young people.

We know how important it is to have good, understanding friends, which is why AYME offers lots of friendship-supporting services like an online community, pen pals, e-mates, buddies and local get-togethers, all run by other young people with ME/CFS. They are all under 26 and have probably been through similar situations as you. Members get a bi-monthly magazine packed with young people’s news and views. You can choose to get involved or just enjoy reading and listening to what others are getting up to.

Join online here! It’s absolutely FREE for anyone up to 26 in the UK and now our membership form is online you can join quickly and easily and get even faster access to all of our services.
