About us
Chronic Illness Inclusion is a voice for disabled people with energy limiting chronic illness, energy impairment, and chronic pain.
We are a Disabled Person’s User-Led Organisation.
We are governed by a management committee. Over 75% of the management committee is disabled and living with ELCI, energy impairment or chronic pain. We work with a team of Associates.
