LONG COVID KIDS AND FRIENDS

We raise awareness of the symptoms of Long Covid and related illnesses in children and young people to aid early diagnosis and ensure early intervention and support. We connect and support parents and caregivers of children and young people living with post-viral illness. We call for well-being to be placed into the heart of education so that all children can learn and thrive.
