The aim of this project is to help people with long covid or chronic fatigue, or their carers family or friends, to find support from other people who are going through the same thing.
The idea is pretty simple - people provide some basic information about themselves into an online form, and we will match you with someone who you can then get in touch with: via email, phone call, or video call. It’s also up to people what to talk about and if they choose to have regular catch ups with the person they're matched with or just want a one-off chat.
Once we have some people signed up, I would also like to consider what other mutual aid/peer support services we could help run, for example, a regular long covid book club, a community newsletter or blog. Other ideas are very welcome!
The project will be starting this academic year, and I am currently looking for volunteers. Please get in contact if you'd like to help out. Some more information can be found on this website: https://sites.google.com/view/longcovidsolidarity/home.
