This banner will be the centrepiece of our Long Covid Awareness Day campaign on March 15th 2025.

5. For those unable to send in fabric: We’ll create and add a piece on your behalf. Please fill out this form [or have a caregiver do so on your behalf, if possible]: LCA Banner Form.
6. Deadline: Please ensure your piece reaches us by 1st February 2025 to be included in the banner.
We welcome pieces from anywhere in the world. However, as we are based in the UK, we anticipate most contributions will come from here.
Please Note: The banner will be publicly exhibited and featured in a film (details to be confirmed later). By sending your fabric piece, you consent to its use in these contexts.
We aim to create a powerful representation of Long Covid and its impact. Your contribution will help bring this vision to life. Please share with your networks to help spread the word. Thank you very much for your support.
