💜 More Than Fibro – Standing Together in Crisis

Supporting people living with Fibromyalgia across the UK

More Than Fibro – SCIO began in 2020 as a small Facebook group of just 12 people looking for understanding, connection, and hope. Today, we are a lifeline for over 14,000 members across the UK. What started as a conversation has grown into a community — and then into a charity that changes lives every single day.

We now provide:

• A highly successful advocacy service

• Community support meetings across the country

• Subsidised Reiki sessions for pain and wellbeing

• A warm, welcoming hub at Parkhead Forge

• A dedicated helpline

• Online support for those who can’t attend in person

• And a mental health support worker offering vital emotional care

For a small charity, this is an extraordinary achievement. But right now, we are facing the hardest moment in our history.

⚠️ We Are in Crisis

Despite the impact we make, we are struggling to survive.

• Our ongoing bills are becoming impossible to meet

• Our senior team have gone months without expenses being paid

• Our rent and essential costs are falling behind

• Funding applications are constant, but refusals far outweigh awards

• Competition for grants is fierce, and small charities like ours are often overlooked

It is heartbreaking to be doing something so needed, so unique, and so effective — yet be fighting just to keep the doors open.

🙏 We Need Your Help — Truly

This is not a comfortable ask.

This is not a polished campaign.

This is us, openly and honestly, saying:

We cannot continue without you.

Your donation, no matter the size, helps us:

• Continue advocacy for those who desperately need it

Every pound genuinely makes a difference.
