Our Vision
L-W-O Community
L-W-O is a non-profit association independently run by Gaynor Leech, providing non-medical support for those living with Primary, Secondary and Paediatric Lymphoedema. We do not charge for our services; however we do ask for donations for the upkeep of this website and our family website and the work we do across social media and in the community.
- L-W-O Community shall work to promote awareness of lymphoedema to raise the profile of the condition.
- Our aim is to support and reach as many people as we can who live with lymphoedema.
- Through this website www.lymph-what-oedema.com and our family website www.lwoccommunity4families.com we will provide information that promotes the well-being of lymphoedema patients.
- L-W-O will not offer medical advice but will signpost to those organisations that are more qualified.
- L-W-O will regularly review and update our website.
- Through our community page L-W-O shall provide information for public use and continue to raise the profile of lymphoedema.
- Through our online support group, and families online support group L-W-O shall provide information, whilst supporting our members and their carers to discuss any issues they are experiencing.
- Where necessary L-W-O will work with other lymphoedema organisations or public organisations when it is in the best interests of our members.
- Where necessary and appropriate L-W-O will represent the views, concerns, and interests of our members.
- L-W-O will always act in the best interests of our members, remain non-political, and will resolve issues among our members through democratic process.
- L-W-O are aware of our responsibilities for safeguarding confidentiality and preserving information security for L-W-O and our members.
