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.
Roots of Linwood
Roots responded to the crisis by distributing more than 12,000 boxes to households across Renfrewshire who weren’t able to access food. This included the elderly, folk who were shielding, front line workers and vulnerable families.
