About our cause

This lottery is helping us to fund the running costs of our Support Group. All of our committee are disabled by the condition, so traditional fundraising is beyond us. We really do rely on these alternative ways of raising funds to keep going. 

Fibromyalgia is associated with persistent muscle and joint pain, along with numerous other symptoms. There are few treatments available and those drugs that do relieve symptoms often come with unpleasant side effects. Fibromyalgia sufferers vary in age from 15 to 95. About 90% are female and 10% male. Few are able to work full-time and many have to stop work in their 40s or 50s. During Covid many sufferers shielded. Many rarely get out of the house and are isolated and inactive due to the pain they experience.  

Some of the benefits of attending a support group can be:

• Feeling less isolated, low mood, anxiety

• Newly diagnosed and wanting to find out more

• Finding reassurance and support from others with similar experiences in the local area

• Learning new information about fibromyalgia, its treatment and complication/side-effects

• Feeling empowered and more self-confident to cope with issues relating to living well with fibromyalgia

• Having the opportunity to help and give support to others

We provide the following services to newly diagnosed sufferers or those living with the condition:

• Website and Facebook Group

• Access to information about relaxation and self-help techniques

• Information about benefits and discounts for disabled people

• Information sheets and newsletters

• Face-to-face meetings with social activities
