Who we are
What is Migraine Action?
Established in 1958 (as the British Migraine Association), Migraine Action is one of the oldest and most prominent migraine charities in the UK, dedicated to supporting migraineurs. If you'd like to find out more about the history of the charity, please click here.
We are at the forefront of raising awareness of this much misunderstood condition and by working closely together with medical experts and other headache organisations such as the World Headache Alliance, we are able to make a difference.
With over 7,000 members we are committed to assisting migraineurs and their families. We help to create a better understanding of this debilitating condition by providing unbiased information on all aspects of migraine, its causes, diagnosis and treatment. We help eliminate the feeling of isolation experienced by most migraineurs by giving them information and support, and keeping them in touch with other migraineurs.
Our activities are mainly funded through subscriptions, donations and legacies. Additional funding may be obtained from different sponsors for certain projects, to assist with research and raising awareness of migraines.
The charity is governed by our board of trustees. Our medical advisory board, management team and office staff exist to effectively engage with our members.
