We had to start Fibro Awareness Week a couple of days early as it was the only time we could fit it in with other things.
I have attached 2 photos for you. This was a medium turn out for us as I e-mailed 2 newspapers about our event, but it was not printed in either, It was very disappointing. But we had a good meeting, our speaker came and talked on how CBT can help us to cope with fibro. We were pleased as we raised £48.10. for FMA UK and I shall be putting it in the post soon. On our raffle and the yummy cake.
A picture of the group.

If your Health Care Professional needs some education in fibromyalgia you can request that an FMA UK Health Professionals Pack is sent out to them. All we need is the name of the Health CareProfessional and the address of their practice. We will then send a pack to their surgery addressed from us to them.
You can request a medical pack using this form.
Trustee meetings are held monthly via Skype and last about 2 hours. There is an annual meeting that coincides with our group leaders’ meeting over a weekend.
You can find a Support Group near you by contacting the Regional Coordinator for your area. If there does not happen to be a support group near you then maybe you can join with some other members and set one up. Support groups provide a social benefit as well as the opportunity to share tips on coping with fibro. They come in all shapes and sizes and we are often told how they have helped people.
