This page is to complement our leaflet about starting a support group. It will feature all the links in the leaflet and additional material that may be useful in between reprints of the leaflet. The charity has helped start and support groups all over the UK and the world. We regularly meet with international organisations and have helped with resources and information to help encourage groups to thrive. The charity has been doing this for over 30 years, and the awareness and support that exists for fibro is only due to groups and their members helping others with fibromyalgia.

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.
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.
