Research with Loughborough University
Closing the gap for people living with Fibromyalgia
Our communications officer, Nadia, is on a research training placement with Loughborough University and Fibromyalgia.
The aim of her research to capture and reveal the
invisible symptoms of Fibromyalgia to change attitudes, beliefs and understanding in those who diagnose, treat, care for, work with, or live with, people living with Fibromyalgia in Leicestershire. She will work to create a public-facing communication to highlight the differences and/or similarities between healthcare perceptions and lived
experiences. She is planning to do this through collecting information about the perception of fibromyalgia from local healthcare professionals. Working with people living with Fibromyalgia she will support them to represent their experiences through artistic or other creative methods.
We have received a donation!
Fibromyalgia Friends Together is pleased to report that we have received a donation from Fibromyalgia Scotland, who's Trustees decided that due to health, they were no longer sadly able to keep their organisation going. We are overwhelmed by their generosity receiving a donation from them of over £8,000! This boost to our resources will mainly be used towards our core running costs, to enable more people to access our services and to raise awareness of Fibromyalgia.
The Lightbulb project in Leicestershire at our Feburary 2026
We are looking forward to welcoming you to our next Fibromyalgia Friends Together meeting this coming Monday!
This month, we are delighted to be joined by the Lightbulb Project.
They are a fantastic local service dedicated to helping people stay safe, warm, and independent at home. They will be discussing housing support, including home adaptations, technology to assist with daily living, and general housing advice. It is a great chance to see what practical support is available to make life a little easier.
