Individual supporters
You can support ME Research UK in a large variety of ways:
-
Sponsored events are very popular, and we have recently teamed up with Justgiving.com so all our runners and events participants can raise money quickly and easily online with their own personalised web pages. To set up your page today, visit the ME Research UK entry portal.
-
Everyclick enables your clicks to raise funds for us when you search the internet, at no cost to you — just make the ME Research UK Everyclick page your home page and make sure you use it whenever you search the web!
-
Our online card shop, operated on our behalf by The Greetings Card Company, allows us to offer you, our supporters, a great range of cards throughout the year. By shopping regularly, you’d be helping us greatly.
-
ME Research UK collection boxes are available. The little plastic houses can be used to collect loose change, as a fine box, or taken by a local shop (which can bring in about £60 per year), while the self-assembly cardboard box is designed for home use. To order either or both, please contact us for details.
- A car sticker allows you to support the drive for biomedical research into ME every time you travel. We have 1000 stickers in the offce, so please contact us if you want one.
- You can also help us by buying our Christmas Cards (some of last year’s designs are still available), Jane Hurst’s Greetings Cards and Notelets, or a copy of A Wyatt Tilby’s novel A Stiff-Necked Generation.
- Regular donation by standing order is a very efficient way of helping us. You may be able to help us further by reclaiming the tax on your donation. Read more here.
-
We have a dedicated ME Research UK eBay page, run by Missionfish, which helps charities raise money, enabling eBay sellers to give some or all of their sale proceeds to their favourite charitable organisations.
- Spreading the word is one of the most efficient ways of getting ME Research UK’s work known, especially around ME support groups. You can also download our poster (pdf 1 MB) ‘Energising ME Research’, and post it up in your local library.
