I love drawing and playing video games. I also love to read graphic novels and manga as I can’t read books, so if you ever need any recommendations I’m always free to chat on the LCK Discord.“

Where and when do you wear a mask?

Daniel Elkeles, chief executive of NHS Providers which represents NHS trusts, said the country was facing a “nasty” strain of flu.

What have you noticed?
Are more people wearing masks?

We did it - thanks to you! 🧡

Reaching our @biggive.bsky.social target is a lifeline.
Every pound (and every match!) goes directly to supporting families facing paediatric Long Covid, no services, no treatments, huge gaps in care.

Your support means we can keep showing up, keep raising children’s

We have less than 24hrs of our BigGive #ChristmasChallenge, and our volunteer team along with many of our children and young people have been watching our total rise with so much excitement. We are so close.

“The choir has given me new friends and a safe space to chat and sing”

🧵Lilo the #cat might look peaceful… but her stillness tells a story.
Many children with Long Covid spend their days just like this ,watching life from the sofa, too exhausted to join in. LCK continues to advocate for better health and education support, but children need help today.
