Penpals in the UK

Hi

I know that we are all ill, and this is a fantastic website but I wondered whether we could start a penpal group?

Hi Lins,

We are a web site for the assistance of people with Fibro as such we are not a pen pal site.

You can find sites persifically for pen pals and I am just wondering if you would get a better responce by joining one of those.

There is no reason why peeps canot be pen pals as well thats up to the individual .

Good luck

Hi Lins2000

We (RLS-UK) have previously offered to facilitate this for our members but unfortunately we had a small number of responses taking us up on the offer.

If you would like a pen-friend, please contact me (chair@rls-uk.org) and we can hopefully put you in contact with somebody.

Many thanks,

Daragh (Chair, RLS-UK)

Hi Lins, I'm so sorry but I have to agree with gins, I'm not sure this is the right setting, but maybe it will suit someone. I hope so much that you are somehow somewhere able to to find the pen pal you are seeking, hopefully Daragh may come up with someone for you.

Sending you positive vibes :-)

Hi guys

I hope that everybody is feeling really well today? I have read all of the replies to this post and there is a great deal to take into consideration? If you like the idea of a pen pal but want to stay safe and secure, then why not try and find a Fibro buddy from one of the reputable Fibro Groups from the Fibro Directories?

I have pasted two links below to Fibro Directories:

fibroaction.org/Pages/Suppo...

fibromyalgia-support.com/su...

The directories have listings of Fibro Groups from all over the UK. I am sure there must be somebody in these groups who would love to communicate with like-minded people?

Good luck and get your writing hands on!

I know facebook has lots of different penpal groups but they only have one for people with Fibro and they are mainly those living in America. I just want a UK penpal so if you'd like a penpal please inbox me. A group would be a great idea I think :)
