Chronic Insights Fundraiser in Support of Fibromyalgia Action UK

We’re thrilled to share the story of a wonderful new fundraising initiative created by Chronic Insights, a one-person business based in Durham in the north east of England.

Chronic Insights was founded by James, who lives with axial spondyloarthritis, a painful autoimmune condition that causes chronic pain and fatigue.

“I wanted to create something that would truly help people living with chronic health conditions while protecting their privacy.”

The Story Behind Chronic Insights

Six years ago, James left his full-time IT job due to chronic pain and fatigue. Rather than let that stop him, he used his experience to build a symptom diary app designed for people with long-term health conditions.

His goal was simple: to create an app that respected users’ privacy and offered meaningful tools to help them track and understand their symptoms.

Giving Back Through the Chronic Insights App Fundraiser

As Chronic Insights grew, James realised he wanted to go beyond building an app. He wanted to give back to the chronic illness community. That’s how his fundraiser began.

Through this initiative, 10% of revenue from all app subscriptions is donated each year to charities chosen by app users.

When someone subscribes to Chronic Insights, they can select a charity from a list of UK organisations supporting people with chronic illnesses. Once a year, 10% of the company’s sales revenue is divided among the chosen charities based on how many subscribers supported each one.

“My goal is to help raise funds for charities that make a real difference in people’s lives.”

Supporting Fibromyalgia Action

We are delighted that Fibromyalgia Action UK is one of the charities included in James’ fundraiser.

This year, we’re proud to share that Fibromyalgia Action received a £117.00 donation from Chronic Insights.

Every person who uses the Chronic Insights app and selects Fibromyalgia Action UK as their chosen charity helps us continue our work raising awareness, providing information, and supporting people affected by fibromyalgia across the UK.

Making a Difference, One Subscription at a Time

We want to extend a heartfelt thank you to James for his generosity, innovation, and commitment to the chronic illness community.

Initiatives like this remind us how powerful small, thoughtful actions can be when they come from lived experience and a genuine desire to help others.

If you’d like to support Fibromyalgia Action UK through the Chronic Insights App, visit www.chronicinsights.com to learn more. The app is available on the Apple App Store and on Google Play.

Together, we can make life with chronic illness a little bit easier — one step, one app, and one act of kindness at a time.
