The group began life in September 2015 as the Pocklington ME/CFS Support Group and soon had its first members thanks to an entry on the ME Association website. The group has had a social meeting each month from the start. To begin with we met in the World Peace Cafe at the Buddhist Centre but for the last two years we've met in the Feathers Hotel in Pocklington as it's more accessible for those without transport.
In 2019 we changed our name again to include any condition which causes chronic fatigue and we are now called the Pocklington Chronic Fatigue Community.
Recently we have been publicised by a local organisation VCSE, (Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise) and there's a case study of the group in their Newsletter:

With our limited resources and capabilities, we seek to provide support for fellow sufferers. With this in mind, our first project has been to provide specially designed yoga classes at a reduced rate to our members. We are already running the classes at a suggested donation of £5 per session but we hope to be able to reduce this cost with the help of subsidies through community grants.

If you live in the Pocklington area and you have ME, CFS, Fibromyalgia, PVFS, Long Covid or similar condition that causes chronic fatigue and would like to join our group then please contact us by email initially at
