Since April 2020 the Third Sector Research Centre at Birmingham University has been exploring community responses to COVID-19 - from lockdown and beyond.

Commissioned by Local Trust the first full research report has now been published - Stronger than anyone thought -  based of the findings from 317 learning conversations across 26 communities in England. The report is accompanied by a blog and six Rapid Research Briefings examining particular aspects of community responses to the pandemic.
