Letters: reach out to people with M.E. this Christmas

Dear Editor,

For most people, Christmas is about celebrating with friends and family; however, many people with the chronic, debilitating illness M.E. tell us they feel very lonely and isolated at this time of year – particularly the one in four who are so severely ill that they are bed- or house-bound. If you know someone with M.E., consider reaching out to them this Christmas – a simple card, phone call or visit can make a real difference.

If you have M.E. and you need information and support, call us on 0117 927 9551 (we’re here until 4pm on Friday 21 December, and re-open 10am Monday 7 January) – or visit www.actionforme.org.uk/you-are-not-alone. Our M.E. Friends

Online forum is open throughout the festive period; to register, visit www.actionforme.org.uk/MEfriendsonline
