L-W-O Community supports primary and secondary lymphoedema by promoting emotional wellness, lymphatic health, self-care, patient empowerment, online and in the community.
Welcome to L-W-O Community
Welcome to the L-W-O Community website! My name is Gaynor Leech, and I have been living with lymphoedema since 2011. We offer valuable insights into living with this condition. Here, you'll find non-medical information and support designed to empower and inform you on your journey. We invite you to explore and connect with others sharing similar experiences.
The L-W-O Community will direct you to sources or organisations that you may find valuable via hyperlinks; for a list of trustworthy organisations, please see our signposting page.
Since its founding in 2013, the L-W-O Community has grown to a community of 4,500 people. We aim to show that lymphoedema can be managed and treated; however, the NHS does not always provide supported self-care for those of us who live with this condition.
We empower you to manage lymphoedema effectively. Discover valuable insights and strategies that enhance your daily activities and improve your well-being. Together, we can make a positive impact on your health.
