Ask Your MP to Support Migraine Awareness Week

One in seven people in the UK live with migraine – around 10 million, or roughly 10,000 people per UK parliamentary constituency.

Migraine Awareness Week 2025 runs from 22-28th September and marks the start of our new campaign - #MigraineMeans. 

We want MPs to understand that migraine means more than ‘just a headache’, starting with what migraine means to you.

You can contact your MP and ask them to support a transformation in care and support for the millions of people living with migraine. More than half of the MPs in this Parliament weren’t in the last one, so this may be the first time they will be hearing from constituents about migraine. As MPs, they can:

  • Raise migraine care in Parliament and help put it on the Government’s agenda

  • Put pressure on local NHS bodies about improving migraine care locally 

  • Highlight what the Government and employers should be doing to enable people with migraine to get the adjustments they need to work.

Please contact your MP to let them know what migraine means for you. You can ask them to:

  1. Support Migraine Awareness Week 

  2. Raise migraine in Parliament through questions or a debate.  

  3. Meet with the team at The Migraine Trust 

Together, we can change perceptions and improve care and support for people with migraine. Make a start by adding your postcode below and starting with the template where you can delete/add in sections as appropriate.
