Registered Charity 1080985

Tymes Trust is the only national ME charity dedicated to children and young people with ME and their families. Our entire team work pro bono and in 2010 we received the Queen's Golden Jubilee Award for Voluntary Service, for pursuing the educational rights and advancing the care of children with ME. We played a major role in producing the children's section of the Dept of Health Report on CFS/ME (2002).

The Tymes Trust response to the DHSC Interim Delivery Plan on ME/CFS

Young Hearts is a collection of inspirational poetry by over 40 children and young people with ME aged 7 to 26. Foreword by Terry Waite CBE. This book was originally the dream of Tymes member Jade Louise Scarrott who was so tragically taken from us in a road accident at the age of 14. She wanted to raise awareness and understanding of ME in children. A review was published by Special Children magazine.

To commemorate Jade Louise Scarrott we present the ITV Central News feature on childhood ME which was prompted by the publication of Young Hearts. Includes interviews with Jade's mother Karen and Jane Colby.
