In brief
The Relationships Project and Local Area Coordination Network have teamed up to surface, share and celebrate stories of lockdown from all across the country. How have your relationships changed through Covid? What’s the Spirit you want to bottle to guide your way forward? Wherever you are and whoever you are, we want to hear your story. Together, we can inspire a conversation about how we can build back better, stronger and more connected.
The power of a story

The stories we tell now about our response to Covid-19 will shape how we look back on this time, and how we move forward as a society.
- How do you want to remember this time?
- What changes do you want to sustain?
- What’s the spirit you want to bottle to guide your way forward?
Get involved
You might want to write your story, to video it, audio record it, draw it, tell it alone, tell it in pairs. Choose the format that works best for you and get sharing!
