Community Support Increases During COVID-19

On 20 April 2020, NISRA launched a new Coronavirus (COVID-19) Opinion Survey designed to measure how the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic was affecting peoples’ lives and behaviour in Northern Ireland.  A report providing a summary of the key findings following the completion of Phase 2 of this research has just been released.

It shows that people recognised that there was a high degree of community support available if they were in need of help.  They also thought people are doing more things to help others since the pandemic  started.  Volunteer Now can endorse this given the huge response to their #HelpEachOther Campaign.  Let’s say a big thank you to all the volunteer heroes!
