Covid-19: Businesses and community organisations help out

Many businesses were forced to close or adapt during the lockdown. Non-essential shops had to close and restaurants switched to takeaway services.

Some businesses changed the way they worked to support essential workers or the vulnerable who were isolating at home. For example, some small shops provided a delivery service for those unable to get food or delivered cooked meals to the vulnerable. 

You can explore some of the organisations that were involved in supporting vulnerable people on the map below. Zoom in to see individual items and click on them to read their stories.
