Chest Heart and Stroke Scotland
CHSS have been providing Long Covid Support to people for over 3 years. This service is funded by the UK government.
CHSS offer telephone and online support, online sessions and have a wealth of long covid knowledge built up over the last few years.
The Cuppa Group have recently entered into a Peer Partnership with CHSS to help support our members and others who are living with Long Covid.
Falkirk & Clackmannanshire Carers Centre
If you help to look after a partner, child, relative or friend who couldn’t manage without you due to disability, illness, addiction or frailty, then you are a carer. Often carers are unaware of the support that is available for them and the person they care for, or what they are entitled to.
We aim to ensure that carers of all ages are recognised, valued, receive the information and support they need to allow them to care with confidence and in good health, and are empowered to have a life of their own outside caring.
If you live in Falkirk or Clackmannanshire, please contact the Carers Centre by phone (01324 611 510) or email on centre@centralcarers.co.uk, visit centralcarers.org or follow on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, LinkedIn or Instagram.
Forth Valley Long Covid Service
The NHS Forth Valley Long Covid Service provides care and guidance to people in Falkirk, Stirling and Clackmannanshire living with Long Covid. We have worked closely with this service since its inception.
Several Cuppa Group members provided lived experience participants throughout the setup of the Forth Valley services and continue to do so. Every couple of months, the Long Covid facilitators come along to our Cuppa meetings and give us updates on service development and any changes being made to Long Covid care.
We are delighted to continue to work with Forth Valley NHS, to provide lived experience and to give our genuine feedback on the services provided.
