Colin Pidgeon

Colin is the Long Covid Kids representative for Northern Ireland and the father of Rosie, now a young adult, who has lived with Long Covid since the age of sixteen. 

He has supported Rosie in her journey from being a sick teenager to a powerful youth advocate, and together they have used creative expression to highlight the impact of the condition. Colin has helped Rosie deliver art exhibitions in collaboration with LCK, raising awareness and giving young people a platform to share their experiences. 

While Rosie leads on political engagement, Colin focuses on supporting her advocacy and championing the role of creativity in healing and awareness.
