FMA UK offers many awareness resources
These are distributed from our office and through support groups throughout the UKOffice Update April 2014
Due to the recent holidays and the availabiliity of volunteers in the office recently we are going to get a little behind with some things like orders and resource requests. With group events for May 12th and the upcoming BSR conference for example, the office is busier than normal and the dip in volunteer availability will mean some things will take longer to get out the door. We appreciate your understanding of this and will process things as quickly as we can.
site issue
There may have been an issue affecting some people where they were seeing a white page when logging in or out of the site. This should now be resolved.

Trustee meetings are held monthly via Skype and last about 2 hours. There is an annual meeting that coincides with our group leaders’ meeting over a weekend.
If your Medical Professional needs some education in fibromyalgia you can request that an FMA UK Medical Professionals Pack is sent out to them. All we need is the name of the Medical Professional and the address of their practice. We will then send a pack to their surgery addressed from us to them.
You can make Request Medical Pack.
FMA UK is now able to receive text donations from your mobile. With our partners you are now able to send a text from your mobile to 70070 with the code of FMUK01 and your amount that you would like to donate to us. For example if you would like to donate £5 to FMA UK* you would text FMUK01 £5 to 70070. You would then be given the opportunity to add Gift Aid - meaning FMA UK benefits from an extra 25% on top of your original donation.
