Fibromyalgia Friends Together is a welcoming UK-based support group for people living with fibromyalgia, their families, and carers. We understand the daily challenges of chronic pain, fatigue, and other symptoms, and offer a safe, inclusive space to connect, share, and find hope.
What we offer:
- Monthly In-Person Meetings: Join us every third Monday of the month at Bright Hope House, Coalville, LE67 8QT. These meetings provide a supportive environment to share experiences, advice, and tips for living with fibromyalgia.
- Helpline & Telephone Support: Our friendly team is available to talk, offer information, and provide emotional support. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with fibromyalgia for years, you are not alone.
- Information & Resources: Access up-to-date information about fibromyalgia, treatments, and practical tips for managing symptoms. Sign up for our newsletter for ongoing support and resources.
- Advocacy & Awareness: We campaign for better NHS service provision and work to tackle stigma around fibromyalgia through local events and outreach.
- Support for Carers: We recognise the vital role of carers and offer dedicated support and resources for families and friends.
- Grants & Practical Help: Information about grants and financial support for people living with fibromyalgia is available through our website.
Who can join? Anyone affected by fibromyalgia, including carers and family members. Our group is based in Leicestershire but welcomes members from across the UK.
Cost: All support services are provided free of charge. We are a registered charity and rely on fundraising and donations.
