Announcement - FibroAction closer collaboration with FMA UK.

[Mdaisy]

Good Morning,

FYI in case you haven't seen our website & FMA UK's website. Here's an announcement;

FibroAction and Fibromyalgia Association UK (FMA UK) will be working together more closely in the future. The trustees of each charity decided it would be in the best interests of both the charities and the people they serve to combine their expertise, experiences and resources. The trustees are now in talks regarding how to proceed with this process, which may take some time.

Ella Vine, Chief Executive of FibroAction said: ‘This is a very exciting time for the charities and for all of us in the wider fibromyalgia field. This is a very positive step in the right direction. We are all delighted about it. The charities have a national scope, undertake very similar work, serve the same population, have the same group of supporters and the same aims. It will therefore be good to combine our resources to ensure that people affected by fibromyalgia in the UK receive the best possible support and that our voice is stronger and heard by policy makers. We are thrilled about it.”

Pam Stewart, Chair of FMA UK said: “The trustees of FMA UK are delighted for FibroAction to be joining with the trustees of FMA UK to be able to move forward together with their support for people with fibromyalgia. This should allow for an even more proactive role in ensuring the best treatment options for fibromyalgia.”

Not sure how I missed this. My newsfeed has made me aware of this post.

Sounds like a great idea to join together in the effort to serve the people living with FM!

Appears to be cause for celebration? I think so!

Thanks for letting us know about this. Having twice worked for charities who have merged with another charity because they felt that they had similar aims and that they could do more if they joined together I know it can be a very difficult transitionary period whilst the two charities work out the logistics. Hopefully they will be able to give Fibro a bigger voice out there and I am sure everyone on the forum will be right behind any move that can make this happen.

Look forwarrd to the ongoing updates.x
