We Were Built for This: How community organisations helped us through the coronavirus crisis – and how we can build a better future. (June 2020)
This report looks at how community organisations reacted and adapted to the challenges of the crisis. It highlights the vital role that community organisations have played in meeting community need and supporting people during the Covid-19 crisis, as they are often quickest to mobilise and are key to coordinating and delivering emergency support.
Over 100 organisations contributed to the report. This includes seven in-depth case-studies with groups in Berwick, Bristol, Coventry, Grimsby, Hackney, Manchester and Thetford.
The report author, Locality, is calling on government to support a community-powered economic recovery and to create collaborative public services.
