On 4 July 2020 we called Coventry people together to reflect on the COVID-19 pandemic and talk about what they want to happen next.
155 people showed up to our 'CommUNITY is not just for pandemics' online summit and considered three things close to Grapevine’s heart:
- Poverty and inequality
- Neighbourliness and connections
- Our power to change.
We captured their community spirit and action to help ensure both outlast the crisis and make our place more resilient for the future and the challenges ahead.
Pre-pandemic we were moving the city’s communities towards a position of increased strength and resilience. Now we can lead the way in bringing others on-board, deepening the work and accelerating our activity in readiness for recovery.
