About Fibromyalgia Friends Together
Fibromyalgia Friends Together is one of the biggest Fibromyalgia support groups in the country. We provide support across the whole of the UK, with our main base in Leicestershire. We meet face to face on the 3rd Monday of every month at Bright Hope House, Leicestershire as well as other events.
For members unable to come to our face-to-face meetings we have an active, supportive, and friendly Facebook Group, with ~3,000 members, and over 13,500 following our work via our Facebook Page and our email newsletter.
We provide a telephone support and information line, where we can help with your mental health, help you with applying for benefits or give you general information and support.

Our History
Our group began back in 2015 when a number of us discovered we suffer from Fibromyalgia and we wanted to meet up to share our experiences with others who understand. We also wanted our carers to be supportive as we understand that not only is it a difficult time for us but also our loved ones as well. And so, Fibromyalgia Friends was born!
In May 2020 following the COVID outbreak we held our first online meeting, outreaching to our members who continued to need our help and the support of our community.
We fund the costs of our activities from donations, lottery ticket profits, cartridge recycling and fundraising activities. We have also been fortunate to receive a number of small grants, such as one from NEXT.
In 2024 we became a CIO!
