Community spirit and resilience to support the response to COVID-19
This briefing showcases how community groups, schools, businesses, charities and members of the public have come together to support the NHS and social care at this exceptional time.
The COVID-19 pandemic continues to transform the way we live, work and socialise in Wales. It affects all of us and our ability to live our lives “normally”. Our thoughts are with everyone who has been affected.
No sector or public life has been immune to the wholescale and essential changes that the pandemic has brought about – particularly the health and social care sector, which has been implementing innovative ways of partnership working to manage and respond to the virus. Clearly, there is still a long way to go until we can fully evaluate the effect of the COVID-19 outbreak and the impact that it has had on our health and social care system and on the people of Wales.
However, among the challenges, we have an opportunity to recognise the overwhelming and inspirational displays of community spirit and resilience that have supported the health and social care system throughout this time.
