What we've learned
We've created a rich archive of over 2,000 experiences of families living on a low-income during the pandemic. People have shared aspects of their everyday lives through diaries and answers to video questions, as well as through group discussions, zine-making, audio recordings and media appearances.
We've grouped these experiences into common themesWe also regularly publish rapid-response reports and briefings.
