Proud to share our new #ForThoseWhoCant fundraising campaign. Long Covid often strips people of the energy and capacity to advocate or fundraise for themselves. This campaign is about solidarity — giving friends, families and communities practical ways to step in and help.
Today we’re launching #ForThoseWhoCant, our new fundraising campaign. It’s about making fundraising more accessible, with ideas and guidance for friends, family, and loved ones who want to support our work. Email fundraise@longcovid.org or click here longcovid.org/get-involved/f…

Standing outside the Covid-19 Inquiry, we want to say thank you to all our supporters. People living with #LongCovid still need urgent support — please donate if you can to help us continue our work.
An important message from @NJLR, our Chair of Trustees, who has been in attendance at the Covid Inquiry today. We wanted to take this moment to sincerely thank you for the support you have shown over the past few weeks, particularly in relation to our work with the Inquiry (1/)

It’s the first night of #Chanukah. As a proud British Jew, lighting our chanukiah tonight feels like an act of hope and defiance. In the shadow of the appalling Jew-hatred attack in Sydney, we still kindle light. We are here. We endure. #Channukah #Hannukah #Chanukah

Proud of the impact our community continues to make. Your emails helped secure an exceptional MP and Peer turnout — proof that lived experience drives real political attention. Thank you. #OIA #LongCovid
1/ We were thrilled to see 50 MPs and Peers at the Overlapping Illness Alliance drop-in last week. Thanks to your emails, nearly 80% of MPs got an invite, one even said it was the most letters they'd ever had about an event. Your support genuinely made a difference ⭐️

Important conversations in Parliament yesterday. We’ll keep working with partners across the Overlapping Illness Alliance to push for the research, recognition and support people living with Long Covid deserve.
Yesterday our Chair of Trustees @NJLR joined partners from the Overlapping Illness Alliance in Parliament, urging MPs to take urgent action on the research and support needed to meet the Long Covid crisis. #LongCovid

After today’s #CovidInquiry report, I discussed with @charlotterlynch from @LBCNews what it confirms: people with #LongCovid were failed. We need urgent action: proper surveillance, specialist care, clear messaging, & long-term research funding. #LongCovidSupport @long_covid

A real pleasure to interview the brilliant #AndyWilman for @CWBookshop on the first stop of his tour celebrating the release of Mr Wilman’s Motoring Adventure. A must-read — and the perfect #Christmas gift — for any #TopGear or #GrandTour fan.

As part of the @Fanalysisapp @ManCity team, it was a joy and pleasure to discuss and celebrate the return to form of @PhilFoden on @SkySportsNews earlier today. Four goal involvements in four matches, an enthusiasm for the game and looking like a match winner. #MCFC #ManCity

So sad to hear of the passing of John Stapleton. Beyond being a proud @ManCity Blue and regular on the @citypodcast, he was always so generous and supportive to me. I’ll always treasure his kindness, humour and encouragement. He’ll be greatly missed.
