Thank you for visiting our donations page! Your support means the world to us.
NURA Community was created to be a bespoke, supportive space for people with Long COVID, ME/CFS, and related conditions to connect, share, and support and uplift one another. It's because of kind people like you that we’re able to offer friendship, light and hope to people living with these debilitating chronic illnesses.
If you're not already a member, you can join our community here: www.nura-community.com
Right now, our funding is running out. We - your volunteer team - are currently covering all the costs ourselves, but we've reached a point where we need your help to keep our community open. This project is really close to our hearts, and we love running it. Having Long COVID ourselves, we are intimately aware of how difficult, frustrating and isolating these conditions can be.
By contributing, you're not just helping us cover the costs of running our platform - you’re keeping it thriving. Your donation allows us to bring in guest speakers, host our support sessions and virtual meetups, and maintain the tech that keeps everything running smoothly. Most importantly, you’re helping us continue to create a space where everyone feels welcome, understood, and among friends.
Our goal is to raise £3,000. This will allow us to keep the community running for another two years. This might not sound like a huge amount, but it will go a long way in covering our costs, most of which are tech costs: the platform itself (Mighty Networks), and Zoom for our events. It’ll also give us the breathing room to apply for more sustainable, long-term funding.
To break it down: if just one sixth of NURA’s members contributed £1 a month for a year, we’d easily cover that year’s costs. If a third of NURA’s members contributed 50p a month - same result. But we know it doesn’t always work like that in practice, which is why we’ve decided on the above overall target of £3000.
Whether you can give once or choose to support us monthly, it all makes a difference. A regular donation, even as little as $3 a month, helps us plan for the future. It allows us to expand our reach and grow our network of support, ensuring that no one feels alone in their journey with these isolating illnesses.
Your generosity truly has a lasting impact, and we couldn’t do this without you.

Thanks for all the hard work you’re doing running this community. Hopefully you’ll be able to apply for some grants too since this is such a useful resource for people with ME etc
