these are your stories
These are the stories of how you shopped for your neighbours, dropped off supplies to your friends who were shielding, hosted a zoom group for those you knew needed regular outreach, organised a mutual support network and offered hope and help to your communities.

These stories inform a national research project. These are stories of local action across Scotland, whether that’s food drop-offs, support for neighbours, calls to older residents and more. This research will help shine a light on how local communities play a critical role in our future and how we can build forward better, creating a fairer Scotland for us all.
