#LongCOVID #MECFS

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.

#ForThoseWhoCant #LongCovid

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 for more: www.longcovid.org/get-involved...

The Long Covid groups are calling for:

1. Proper data on how Long Covid affects work and income
2. Economic and welfare policies that reflect the realities of Long Covid
3. Lived experience to be built into decision-making
