We were really encouraged by the support we had from the many Senedd Members (MSs) who visited the Severe ME Difrifol Cymru stall at Y Farchnad (The Marketplace) in the Senedd on 15th July.

MSs will soon be returning to the Senedd after their long Summer Recess. Now we need them to make their support official – by actually signing up to give their backing to Adam Price’s Motion for a debate about Severe/Very Severe ME in Wales – https://record.senedd.wales/Motion/8884

Y Farchnad was a fantastic start. But now, WE NEED YOU!

If you live in Wales and would like to see this debate happen in the Senedd, then now is the time to help us. Every person in Wales is represented by one Constituency MS and several Regional MSs. We need as many people as possible to contact all of their MSs to ensure we get this debate!

How you can help:

1. Find out who your local Constituency and Regional MSs are via this link https://senedd.wales/find-a-member-of-the-senedd/ – just type in your postcode.

2. Check the list on our website (https://www.500milesfor.me) to see whether your MSs has already signed up to support Motion 8884.

3. Write to your Constituency and Regional MSs, asking them to sign up formally in support of Motion 8884 on provision for people with Severe and Very Severe ME. 4. Use / adapt / personalise the template on our website if that’s helpful.

4. To give your MSs some more info, you could copy and paste the briefing document that we have provided on our website (https://www.500milesfor.me).

5. Please email us at SevereME.Cymru@gmail.com to let us know you’ve written / had a response.

6. Consider asking to meet your MS face-to-face if you are able to. We’ve found that these meetings are very effective in getting MSs’ support.

Diolch Thank you
