Raising awareness of migraine
The number of people who suffer with migraine in the UK is the equivalent of the entire population of Wales and Scotland
There are more people who suffer with migraine than people with diabetes, asthma and epilepsy combined. Yet, despite being the most prevalent neurological condition in the UK awareness of migraine continues to be low with many migraine sufferers feeling alone and isolated.
The Migraine Trust works to raise awareness of migraine as a serious public health issue whether it be in the media, Parliament or organising events for the public .
We work with other charities on policy initiatives to ensure that migraine is part of the health agenda.
Our Advocacy Service provides advocacy support to empower migraine sufferers to assert their rights and claim their entitlements in the areas of healthcare, employment and education.
