There are a number of single consultants or dptmts / clinics specialised in chronic pain / pain management in all the main hospitals in SE London as far as I know where the issue of fatigue is usually thoroughly examined in relation to various conditions, but I do not know if they have been accepting also referrals for long covid patients. For what it is worth, I would check with your GP.
Chronic post viral syndromes are very common - typically after e.g. glandular fever and other viral infections (flu?) in some people. They have been given many names - ME for instance - and the very severe Guillain-Barr? syndrome, but they appear to have very many commonalties - particular muscular weakness and fatigue, as well as some (e.g. anosmia) which may be initial viral infection specific. I would not over-worry about finding a group which is just Covid-19 (long Covid) specific - most of these groups will be helpful at suggesting remedies or alleviations (and support) for many common symptoms.

thank you for your thoughts - I wasn't clear enough in my original message but it's support around the chronic fatigue element of long covid that I'm looking for.

    • As a result of the Horizon scandal it now seems very clear that the Post Office management are highly disingenuous and not be trusted!  There needs to be a campaign launched to challenge the threatened closure, unless the Post Office can demonstrate beyond doubt that the branch is loss making - and even then it could argued that better management could address this. I hope the local media take this up and our MP  and a few demonstrations outside wouldn’t do any harm. Bad publicity can be very effective!         
    • Unlikely. It would take a little more than a bit of Milton to alter the pH of eighty-odd thousand gallons of water.
    • It actually feels as though what I said is being analytically analysed word by word, almost letter by better. I really don't believe that I should have to explain myself to the level it seems someone wants me to. Clearly someones been watching way too much Big Brother. 
    • Sadly they don't do the full range of post office services
