Our website is currently experiencing technical issues, which we hope will be resolved soon. If you need immediate support, you can still call our Helpline on 0808 802 0066. Keep an eye on our social channels for further updates.
We are kicking off this year’s #MigraineAwarenessWeek with our new animated campaign film!
Migraine affects around one in seven people and, for many, it impacts all areas of life – from education and careers to personal lives and mental health.
Despite this, many are still not believed about the severity or impact of migraine. So often, migraine is dismissed as ‘just a headache’ or ‘not that bad’.
This Migraine Awareness Week, we are challenging that and highlighting the importance of being believed. A huge thank you to @soozdraws for producing this short film 💙
Please share the film and help us raise awareness!
#BelieveMe
In partnership with @NeuroAlliance, today we’re launching a new tool designed to help NHS commissioners, providers & professionals to plan, design & improve local services for people of all ages affected by headache and migraine.

Who we are affects how we experience migraine. Aspects like gender, ethnicity and social background can influence the way we talk about, and seek support for, migraine. Our new research explores how inequities shape migraine experience: migrainetrust.org/news/ethni…
