Supporting You through Long Covid.
Welcome to Long Covid Connect UK!
We're a peer patient-led team dedicated to uniting the UK Long Covid community with resources, emotional support, and essential services.
Our services are completely free! We provide a helpline for emotional support (similar to the Samaritans) and a patient-led befriending service that connects individuals with Long Covid in their local communities. Additionally, we offer access to community support groups through social media.
Alongside our support services, we also aim to signpost and guide you to medical professionals who understand Long Covid and resources to facilitate further help.
We offer DWP literature and other pertinent information to assist in navigating the benefits system. We also provide resources that include the latest news and scientific research on Long Covid and SARS-CoV-2.
We aim to make the challenges of living with Long Covid more manageable and alleviate feelings of isolation, fear and confusion you may be facing.
