Kiltwalk 2023 will encompass four 'live' events taking place in Glasgow (30/04/2023), Aberdeen (04/06/2023), Dundee (20/08/2023), and Edinburgh (17/09/2023).

There is a choice of three distances to give all abilities a chance to take part - the Mighty Stride, the Big Stroll, and the Wee Wander.

Thanks to the Hunter Foundation and Kiltwalk Sponsors, all the funds you raise will go directly to FMA UK.

How to take part and fundraise for FMA UK

For more information on the events and to buy your place, go to the Kiltwalk website. There are no fundraising targets - we just ask that you raise as much as possible for FMA UK.

After you have bought your place in Kiltwalk 2023, please register your fundraising with us here and we will get back to you shortly.

Our professionally printed Information pack on fibromyalgia can be found here to view. You will also receive a free copy on request. We also have a booklet for young people with fibromyalgia that you can obtain on request and will be on the website soon.

The charity is run by volunteers, most of whom have fibromyalgia.

Health Professional Pack

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.

FMA UK Request for More Trustees

We are appealing for further trustees to aid the running of FMA UK. Expertise is currently needed in finance, fundraising and publicity. We already have volunteers contributing to these areas, but are seeking trustees to take responsibility for the overarching administration and development.

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.

Join a Support Group

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.
