This is a 24 hour voicemail service. A volunteer will respond to messages left within the next 2 working days. Please be aware that this is a voicemail service only, and that while volunteers regularly check for messages, no volunteer is able to answer a telephone call there and then. Please do leave a message and include your phone number.
The Stockport ME Group have recently changed the phone number. This should be included in your phone provider's contracted minutes and will not be an expensive phone call.
This is an information line number only. Volunteers responsible for dealing with queries will not be permitted to give advice. For Stockport ME Group members, if you have a specific query, numbers on page 2 of HERMES still apply.
Alternatively please email us at smeg2244@yahoo.co.uk with inquiries about membership, meetings and other requests for information. If you prefer a phone call please include within your email your phone number and the best time to reach you.
We are currently exploring the option of changing our phone number to an 0345 number which would be included within your monthly landline or mobile minutes.

We have registered Stockport M.E. Group with Amazon Smile and this means if people use Amazon Smile instead of normal Amazon and select us as their charity of choice we get a little money for free whenever you buy stuff on Amazon.
It is pretty easy to register. If you have never used Amazon Smile then you will probably do most of it by clicking this link and then maybe ticking YES and then just remembering to use Amazon Smile rather than Amazon or download the Amazon Smile app and use that instead of the more or less identical Amazon one.

etc. Everything we raise does get re-
If you are already with Smile it is really easy to change your charity to Stockport ME Group. The slightly tricky thing is we wont come up in a search for "Stockport ME Group" either remove the ME or add "M.E." with the full stops and your sorted. Again you can click on the above link to do this.
