How to get involved with Covid Realities
Covid Realities is a research project based at the
universities of York and Birmingham, working in partnership
with the Child Poverty Action Group.
Our aim is to work with parents and carers to understand the challenges
faced by families living on a low income during the pandemic, so that
we can help policymakers make better-informed decisions.
If you’re a parent or carer with children under 19 , and you’re on a low income,
we’d like to hear your experiences. This way we can work together to document
the everyday realities of life for those struggling during these difficult times.
If you want to get involved, you can do one or all of the following:
Dr Ruth Patrick
University of York
Are you:
a parent or carer living in the UK?
looking after children under 19 years of age?
and having difficulties making ends meet?
If all three of these apply to you, and you've read all about the project here, then click below
