Big Give Christmas Challenge

This year, for the first time, AMEND has signed up to The Big Give Christmas Challenge. We are aiming to raise a total of at least £7,000 to fund a project to develop digital resources for young people (aged 16-25) about the issues they face living with MEN. The money will be raised by a combination of Pledges which will match-fund any general donations received during a short 72-hour window from midday 29th November to 12pm on 2nd December. If we're really lucky, The Big Give organisation's Champions may additionally match donations, meaning that your donation could be doubled or even quadrupled! To learn more about becoming a Pledger or Donor for our campaign, and for more details about the project itself,

Record-breaking Day

A record was broken at AMEND's 13th Annual Patient Information Day held in London on Saturday 7th May, when almost 100 participants gave up a day in the sun to learn about MEN and to socialise for mutual support. A superb variety of talks were available from some excellent speakers. Main talks were filmed as usual and will be available free to view via this website and our YouTube channel shortly. Thank you to all who came, and all who were involved in the day and its organisation.
