EnglishHow Can I Support Action for ME?
Updated
You can support Action for ME by donating, fundraising, volunteering, joining as a member, subscribing to the newsletter, or leaving a gift in your Will. The right route depends on whether you want to give money, give time, or stay informed — and some options, like membership, come with their own benefits such as the InterAction magazine.
Donate
A direct donation is the simplest way to support the charity's work. The site's main navigation includes a prominent Donate option, and there is also a dedicated BBC Lifeline Appeal page listed under "Support us."
If you are unsure how much to give or whether to make it one-off or regular, the site does not publish specific giving tiers in the material available here, so check the Donate page for current options.
Fundraise for Action for ME
Fundraising lets you raise money through your own activity while the charity supports you in doing it. The site groups this under several linked pages:
- Fundraise — the general starting point
- Fundraise for us
- Supporting your fundraising — guidance for people running their own events
- Blue Sunday 2026 — a named fundraising event
If you already have an idea (a sponsored walk, a birthday fundraiser, a workplace collection), start with "Supporting your fundraising" to see what help is available. If you want to join something already organised, look at Blue Sunday 2026.
Volunteer
Volunteering is listed under both "Support us" and "About us" (as Work or volunteer with us). This is the route to choose if you want to contribute time and skills rather than money. The site does not detail specific volunteer roles in the material available, so use the "Work or volunteer with us" page to see current opportunities.
Join as a member
Membership is a recurring way to support the charity and receive something in return. The site states: "Join as a member and receive our InterAction magazine!" The membership page is titled Join or renew your membership.
Choose membership if you want ongoing involvement plus the InterAction magazine. Note that membership is described as something you join or renew, which implies a subscription-style commitment — check the membership page for current terms.
Subscribe to the newsletter
If you are not ready to donate or volunteer but want to stay connected, you can sign up to the quarterly newsletter, "Keep me updated." This is a low-commitment way to follow the charity's research, campaigning, and events.
Leave a gift in your Will
A legacy gift is a way to support Action for ME beyond your lifetime. It appears under "Support us" as Leaving a gift in your Will. This option suits people who want to make a lasting contribution; the site does not publish legal or tax guidance here, so take independent advice for your own circumstances.
Other ways to support
The site also lists Philanthropy, Trusts & Foundations under "Support us." This is aimed at larger-scale or institutional giving rather than individual donations.

A practical note
The site's pricing signals mention "subscribe," but no prices or payment details are published in the material available here. Before committing to membership or a donation, open the relevant page to confirm current amounts, renewal terms, and any login requirements.
