The Migraine Action Association (formerly the British Migraine Association) is a registered charity with over 12,000 members. It aims to bridge the gap between the migraine sufferer and the medical world by providing information on all aspects of the condition and its management.

Their mission statement is: "To relieve the burden of headache by facilitating informed awareness and encouraging research".

The Association has three main aims:

  • To provide information and friendly, positive reassurance, understanding and encouragement to migraine sufferers and their families.
  • To encourage and support research and investigation into migraine, its causes, diagnosis, prevention and treatment.
  • To gather and pass on information about treatments available for the control and relief of migraine and to facilitate an exchange of information on the subject.

The Association offers a telephone helpline, a quarterly newsletter and numerous leaflets on all aspects of migraine. Members participate in research and product trials and also collect and donate considerable sums of money to support migraine clinics and further research.

The Association is funded entirely by donations and members' subscriptions. Please contact the Association for up-to-date subscription costs.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
