Grassroots Grants has awarded the Fibromyalgia Support Group (Medway) £2207 for awareness events during 2010. This Grant is for hall hire, 10,000 of our own updated leaflets, and 100 of our own Information Packs. It is also for refreshments at the events, and for promotional material, as well as stationery to publicise the events.
Grassroots Grants is a Government funding source for small charities and voluntary organisations that have been in existence for over 12 months, and is administered by the Community Development Foundation.
The Support Group would also like to thank UK Fibromyalgia for the Grant of £120 that they have been awarded for photocopying costs of articles for the events. We hope to hold the events in May for International Fibromyalgia Awareness Day and in September for UK Fibromyalgia Awareness Week.

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.
