During these unprecedented times, connecting online is a great way that people can keep in touch. This is even more important for those who are shielding because of health issues or vulnerability.

Lymphoma Action, the only charity in the UK dedicated to supporting people affected by lymphoma now has a virtual support group for Cumbria and anyone affected by Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma or chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is welcome to join. If you would like to know more, please contact the group organizer Karen on 07710 393891 or email k.bonell@lymphoma-action.org.uk

The charity has also launched a closed Facebook support group, which is a great place for people affected by lymphoma to share information as well as thoughts and emotions about their diagnosis. If any reader would like to join the closed Facebook support group they should search for Lymphoma Action Support UK.
