A charity is celebrating after winning a national award for its work.
The Sussex ME Society won the Prestige Award 2025 under the category of Illness Support Non-Profit Organisation for the South East of England.
The Brighton-based charity has supported people affected by myalgic encephalomyelitis, also known as chronic fatigue syndrome, for more than 35 years.
Each year, the Prestige judging panel assesses nominees on various criteria, including service excellence, quality, innovative practices, value, ethical or sustainable methods of working and consistency in performance.

Actress Jenny Seagrove, a patron of the ME Society, said: "A huge congratulations to the Sussex ME/CFS Society on this award that is so very well deserved."
All winners are featured in a celebratory awards magazine, published both digitally and in print, which is circulated to Prestige subscribers.
