As part of the European Network of Fibromyalgia Associations (ENFA) awareness raising with the Members of the European Parliament (MEPs), ENFA sponsors the award for justice. This gives the opportunity to have a short mention of fibromyalgia at the award ceremony and have an advertisement and write up in the Parliament magazine which goes to every MEP.
If we are to get implementation of the points agreed in the declaration on fibromyalgia, we need the parliamentarians to be reminded of fibromyalgia repeatedly.
The video shows ENFA’s president Robert Boelhouwer speaking about fibromyalgia and presenting the award.

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.
