Who do we support

Coronavirus (COVID-19) UPDATE!

For some people, coronavirus (COVID-19) can cause symptoms that last weeks or months after the infection has gone. For anyone living with or affected by post-COVID-19 syndrome or “long COVID”, our Living Well with a Long-term Health Condition course is a positive step to helping you learn essential self-management tools and techniques to manage your symptoms instead of your symptoms controlling you.

Anyone caring for someone or living with a Chronic Condition.
