How London Self-advocacy groups coped with COVID

Capturing experiences and learning from the Covid-19 situation

In 2020, People First was successful in applying for Wave 3 of the London Community Response Fund. This was for six months. The grant money came from Trust for London.

The purpose of the project: 

To capture experiences and learning from the Covid-19 situation: Communicating with and supporting self-advocacy organisations across London to find out how they’re working with their members, what issues they’ve experienced during Covid-19, and what has and hasn’t worked. 

The main aims of the project were:

• To ask leaders of self-advocacy organisations how they have been managing over the last 7 months – what has worked well and what hasn’t worked so well

  
  

• To bring leaders of self-advocacy groups together so we can support each other, share ideas and do things together
