Funding Mutual Aids and Hyperlocal Volunteering Roundtable

Mutual aid and hyperlocal informal volunteering groups have provided crucial support to people in need throughout the Covid-19 crisis. As communities have moved through different phases of the pandemic the role of these groups has changed. Some groups have become formal charities, many continue to organise activities informally at a community level.  

With the potential for other economic and social crises, there is a need to maintain and build on further responses of this kind in the future. This includes building better links between these groups and existing organisations, helping existing groups to develop and helping new groups to start.
