Can you provide strategic direction and input to a charity which addresses the needs of people living with symptoms of Long Covid?.
Long Covid Support is a dynamic and passionate charity, led by people with lived experience. Recognising the central role of communications, Long Covid Support has recruited a permanent communications lead to drive the conversation about Long Covid in the UK. The pro bono partner will work closely with this person, leading the development of a 2-year communications strategy, building a Long Covid narrative and acting as a sounding board to the communications function and the charity Trustees. The initial commitment is project-based but could lead to a longer-term partnership.
Long Covid affects over 2 million people in the UK. As a new condition, people living with the symptoms are still coming to terms with the disruption that the condition places on their everyday lives. Those around them often lack understanding and empathy and there is a need for improved engagement with medical and non-medical audiences. The patient community urgently needs reliable information, strong advocacy and better representation.
The agency partner will have the opportunity to work with a network of external experts including academics, healthcare professionals and policy influencers.
