On the weekend of May 12th 2006 saw groups and individuals across the country "Raise Their Cups for Awareness". Many events were held ranging from fun-days and group events to coffee mornings in the home.
Our aim was to try and raise the profile of Fibromyalgia and raise as much awareness as possible. We would like to thank everyone who donated funds from their varying raffles, tombola stalls and other fundraising ideas used.
As we continue to aim to raise further awareness of Fibromyalgia and the existence of the support available we are hoping to make this an annual event, encouraging as many groups and individuals to support us each year.
For those of you who supported us this year, we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you, and hope that you will join us each year in "Raising Your Cups For Awareness"

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.
