ME Research UK funds biomedical research into the causes, consequences and treatment of ME/CFS - a disease which affects over 400,000 people in the UK alone.
ME Research UK will invest every penny from Benefact Group's Movement for Good draw to fund research into a disease which is under-recognised, misunderstood, and under-researched. We will be announcing PhD-level funding in summer 2026 and so funds received will aid the next generation of researchers into the field and bring new vision and impetus to ME research globally.
"It is apparent, as an ME sufferer, that both government and medical profession view ME as a low priority. I am convinced that only sound science will force change. Due to research, attitudes to the disease and our understanding of it are changing but more remains to be done until we beat ME."
Bob McRae, Hon President, Founding Trustee and former secretary of ME Research UK
