Our 2026 Events Calendar: A Year of Support, Science, and Socialising!

Welcome to our 2026 programme! At Fibromyalgia Friends Together, we have planned a diverse year of monthly meetings, insightful guest speakers, and social gatherings to keep us all connected.

Whether you are looking for the latest medical research, practical advice on daily living, or just a friendly chat over coffee, there is something for everyone this year.

2026 Highlights: What to Look Out For

We are thrilled to bring you a mix of expert advice and community fun. Here is a snapshot of what is coming up:

  • Medical & Research Insights: Don’t miss our March session on Medical Cannabis Treatments , or our April meeting where Loughborough University will present their latest research. In May, we will also have a Chiropractor offering advice on spinal support. 

     

  • Practical Living: In a rapidly changing world, we are staying ahead of the curve. Join us in June to learn about getting the most out of AI (Artificial Intelligence) safely , and in September for essential updates and tips on claiming benefits.

  • Health & Wellbeing: We are focusing on mental health in August and rounding off the year with a relaxing “Mindful Living” session in November, featuring candle making and poetry.

  • Out & About: We love getting out into the community! We will be at the Shepshed Carnival on 31st August , holding a coffee morning raffle in Thringstone in May , and planning a canal trip for the summer.

Full Event Details Please see the table below for the complete schedule of dates, times, and locations. Unless stated otherwise, our monthly meetings take place at Bright Hope House in Swannington, Coalville on the 3rd Monday of the month.
