  • Summary

  • During Covid-19, thousands of spontaneous, voluntary Mutual Aid groups have emerged to support the most vulnerable people in our society. In many cases these groups have been able to help people far more rapidly and flexibly than traditional public services.

    In Communities vs Coronavirus: The Rise of Mutual Aid, we explore the impact of this movement, the role of local government in supporting it, and how to sustain this community spirit in future.  

    Authors Dr Simon Kaye and Luca Tiratelli present their findings from months of interviews with Mutual Aid groups across the country. We also hear from Dawn Hirons and David Howard - the couple behind the Howden Helpers - a remarkable Mutual Aid project in Yorkshire.
