Muscle Groups dates announced  

8 January 2025

We’re delighted to announce the dates of our winter Muscle Group meetings and we’d love for you to join us. Book your place today.   

Local Muscle Groups are our network of support groups across the UK open to anyone living with a condition and their family, friends and carers.  

They’re a great opportunity to share experiences and meet other people living with muscle wasting and weakening conditions in your area. The groups are a supportive and confidential space where you can ask questions, connect with others and find out more about the support we provide.   

We run both in-person and online sessions across 10 regions of England and in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The latest round of free events take place throughout February and March.

Together we are stronger  

Tony, was diagnosed with myofibrillar myositis and anti-SRP immune mediated necrotizing myositis 12 years ago. He has been our East Midlands Muscle Group Chair since 2023.  

He said: “Becoming a Muscle Group chair has been a great new challenge for me. I’ve learnt a great deal from those who attend the Muscle Group; for every problem somebody has, someone else usually has a helpful solution, or even just being able to empathise with that person to help them feel less alone makes all the difference.  

“It’s a great way to give back and you learn a lot about yourself along the way. I’ve met some great friends through the group who all get together regularly outside of the organised events.”
