Did you know you can help Fibromyalgia Action UK to raise much needed funds to help provide support for all of us?
We can turn your unwanted inkjets and mobile phones into raised awareness of fibromyalgia.
Empty Inkjets
We can get £1 for each virgin inkjet (never been recycled before)!
How do you know if it is an inkjet that you have? If it fits into the palm of your hand and has a small metal circuit board on it - its an inkjet! This does not however apply to all makes. We cannot recycle any Epson cartridges!
Mobile Phones.
The recycling value of mobile phones can be as much as £30+. As a registered charity we could get 50% of this amount. Imagine, if we all donated just one of those old phones that are lying about in everyone’s house! Don't forget that broken, faulty, and locked phones still have a value!
How can you donate?
Please use the online resources form to request recycling bags .
Then pop your inkjets and phones into the bag, being careful to wrap them in some padding (Newspaper is fine) as the recyclers will not accept damaged items) and pop them in the post box. It is as easy as that!!!
Come on – what are you waiting for? De-clutter your house and help Fibromyalgia Action UK raise much needed funds at the same time!

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.
