Communities Tackling Covid

Our communities in Brighton and Hove have done some amazing things to support each other through this extremely challenging year of the Covid-19 pandemic. To showcase some of their amazing achievements TDC has made a series of films with Big Egg Films to investigate how our communities have responded to the ongoing challenges of Covid-19 and lockdown. 

A second series of films looks at the ways the organisations who form the Inclusive Communities Partnership have been able to offer support to the marginalised groups who have felt the most acute effects of the poverty and isolation caused by lockdown. 

The individual films have been shared on social media over the last month, but if you didn’t catch them there, here are the full versions.
