Today we’re launching #ForThoseWhoCant, a new community fundraising campaign from Long Covid Support.
Many people living with Long Covid can’t fundraise themselves. This campaign is about making it easier for friends, families and allies to step in and show solidarity.

Many people with #LongCovid meet the diagnostic criteria for, or have a diagnosis of, ME.
@actionforme.bsky.social’s Big Survey 2025 is for people with #ME, to better understand the condition and improve support.
If that includes you, your input would be hugely valued.

As Chair of Long Covid Support, this part of the UK Covid Inquiry feels particularly close to home.
Module 9 of the Inquiry is a crucial moment to ensure that these voices are not lost. The human and economic cost of Long Covid is real, ongoing, and too often overlooked.
