Response learning and insights
Learning and insights about COVID-19 / Coronavirus
Here we’re bringing together what we're learning from our grantholders about their response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
We’re making sense of what we’re seeing and hearing at pace, so there’ll be things we’ve missed or haven't seen yet. Please share with us what you are doing so that this can help to enrich our learning.
We welcome comments or challenge, so that we can continuously improve and develop, and make this work practical and useful.
Please send feedback and suggestions to knowledge@tnlcommunityfund.org.uk
