WAMES, is a Welsh charity which represents and supports people affected by the neurological condition of ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) or ME/CFS.
For those experiencing ME/CFS, carers and families – over 13,000 families in Wales – we provide vital support and information services which can enhance their quality of life. Our advocacy aims to change attitudes and misunderstandings about the condition and improve services. The need for our support has increased as a number of people with Long COVID have developed ME/CFS.
Volunteers come from all over Wales as we work remotely.
We currently have a number of Volunteering Opportunities available. These roles offer the opportunity to support the work of WAMES, the Welsh charity which represents and supports people affected by the neurological condition of ME (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis) or ME/CFS.
