Organisers
Bethany Wilson (she/her): Involved with various community organising. She wanted to help set up such a group after multiple friends with long covid and chronic illness had mentioned their feelings of isolation and the need for a space to discuss what they deal with.
Romi Brouwhuis (they/them): Lives and grew up in Utrecht, is invovled with various queer and feminist organising, such as Savannah Bay and 2QTs gender support group. They have been suffering from long covid for over a year and with previous experiences with chronic fatigue, have had to change their life around to deal with the impacts of this illness. They wanted to set up a group in which people who are dealing with similar things could feel less alone.
