October 2020 – The COVID-19 Pandemic – A Community Response in Dudley Borough

Following the Government imposed lockdown in March 2020, the Healthwatch Dudley team supported our host organisation Dudley CVS with a community response, which involved working with local volunteers to deliver food and medication to local people who were shielding.  We interviewed a sample of people who received this support to evidence the impact of the voluntary sector and the difference the community response has made to local people.
