09 - Claire Hastie - founder of Long Covid Support, & advocate

Episode 09 of the Long Covid Podcast is a conversation with Claire Hastie. Claire became ill with Covid right at the start of the first wave in the UK and like so many of us, is still suffering the effects of Long Covid. She started the Long Covid Support Group on Facebook in early May 2020 which has grown into a real force to be reckoned with.

We talk about her experiences, how the group came to be and what they are fighting for - there have been some really fantastic accomplishments, but sadly there is so much more that we need. Claire is an inspiration and was incredibly interesting to chat to, so I hope you enjoy as much as I did.

www.longcovidsupport.org has many useful resources, a link to the private Facebook Support group and also a "DONATE" button if you have any spare monies.
