The latest update documents from our COVID-19 engagement

We have been asking you to tell us how COVID-19 has affected you and your loved ones.
We all know by now that there is much more to the impact of this pandemic than catching COVID-19 (Coronavirus).

When we first asked the simple question: “How is COVID-19 affecting you and your loved ones?” we found that mental health and fears about finances were just as prevalent as concerns about staying well while staying indoors. This question helped us to create the Your Experience Matters survey and to develop our existing project work – with Black Asian Ethnic Minority communities, with young people and with residents of care homes – to incorporate questions about the UK COVID-19 response.

So far, we have published three update documents and are preparing to publish our first report, which shares the findings from a series of group discussions.  Domino Effect – COVID-19 Discussion – Make it Happen and HWCWL FINAL BAME Responses to Your Experience Matters – Westminster FINAL BAME Responses to Your Experience Matters – Kensington and Chelsea How is COVID-19 affecting you and your loves ones?
