Long Covid Support is a registered charity in England and Wales set up by and for people with Long Covid and their carers.
We provide information, support, and advocacy for people with Long Covid and facilitate patient involvement in research. Although we originally hoped to disband quickly, our global online support groups now include over 67,000 members and continue to grow.
Being Core Participants as part of the Long Covid Groups at the UK Covid-19 Inquiry we are pushing for answers for all those impacted during the pandemic.
As the Secretariat for the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Long Covid we are working with MPs to ensure the Government takes meaningful action on prevention, awareness, support and treatment of this life-altering illness.
Our purpose
At Long Covid Support our purpose is to reduce the impact of Long Covid and improve the lives of all those affected.
Our vision
In an ideal world, Long Covid does not exist. But accepting the current reality, our vision is of a future where Long Covid is fully recognised and understood, fewer people are affected, and everyone living with it receives the diagnosis, treatment, care and support they need to live as well as they can.
