Our Peer Mentoring Service offers support for people who
are going through the process of diagnosis or have recently
been diagnosed with ME/CFS, Fibromyalgia or
Long Covid (with post exertional malaise).
Volunteer peer-mentors can offer support as you move along
your journey from diagnosis to adapting to life with a chronic
condition.
If you would like the support of a mentor, or you would like to
volunteer your time to help others, please get in touch
A peer mentor will be a role model and a friendly guide. They will show
you that living with your illness is possible.
