Welcome to Have a CUPPA for ME

Over £5000 raised!  Help raise funds for biomedical research.
 
Welcome to the Have a Cuppa for ME page.

As you probably know Bio-Medical research into Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (M.E.)  is desperately needed.
Government funding via the established research agencies is hard to access for groups wishing to research ME.

So we, the M.E. Community, must do something to help ourselves.

Poster now available for download - to download it please click here.

The idea is simple but brilliant (as the best ideas often are).

We are asking M.E.sufferers, individuals & Support Groups across the country, to host a Tea or Coffee Morning.  This was started on October 2005 and will continue on a regular basis.

Posters are available in Word and are downloadable and of course the wording can be edited to suit your needs.
It needn't be a huge affair, if you can just manage to invite a couple of friends or neighbours in ,even for half an hour.
(Get them to make the Cuppa if you are not able) - then charge them for the privilege !
Ask friends, family or local firms & businesses to get involved, maybe they could hold "Cuppa for M.E." Tea/Coffee breaks at work.
Money raised can be donated directly to your nominated research team but we would ask that you specify the money came from a "Have a Cuppa for ME" event.

We would also like to keep a running total of the money raised from this initiative so could you feedback the information directly to us?

Links to some Research sites can be found on our Weblinks page.
