The Role of Community-Based Organisations During Covid-19 Lockdown

This policy brief draws on the experience of two community based organisations (CBOs) that were actively involved in supporting low income neighbourhoods during lockdown in 2020 and 2021. We asked them, and local residents, about how they responded to the Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown. The Politics and Urban Governance Research Group (PUG) draws on these responses to provide insights into how residents in vulnerable areas can be supported during a crisis.
