Combating Social Isolation through Creative and Community Engagement: COVID and beyond (Community COVID).

在冠状病毒大流行期间，旨在激励和联系我们的资源的可用性大幅增加。从在线歌唱团体和艺术课程，到从窗户、花园或当地公园创造性地与自然接触的指南，有数百种资源旨在消除孤独感，激发在家中的创造力。我们想了解参与者是如何参与这些活动的，比如Get Creative活动。我们想知道在家使用创意资源的积极和消极方面，以及这对参与者的生活、健康和幸福有何影响。我们想知道什么有效，如何有效，为什么有效，这样我们就可以就高质量资源的关键成分提出建议。我们将利用参与者的反馈为组织提供指导，以帮助社区中的人们，例如通过利用志愿者的力量来支持那些可能无法访问在线资源的人，我们将提供有关保护、便利和可访问性的指导。最后，通过与参与者、供应商和合作伙伴合作，我们将利用从该项目中吸取的经验教训，使各组织能够支持其社区适应封锁后的英国。

The coronavirus pandemic has seen a huge increase in the availability of resources designed to inspire and connect us during lockdown. From online singing groups and art classes, to guides for engaging creatively with nature from your window, garden or local park, there are hundreds of resources designed to combat isolation and stimulate creativity at home. We want to understand how participants engage with these initiatives, such as the Get Creative campaign. We want to know the positive and negative aspects of engaging with creative resources whilst at home, and how this affects participants' lives, their health and their wellbeing. We want to know what works, how and why, so that we can make recommendations about the key ingredients for high quality resources. We will use participant feedback to generate guidance for organisations to use to help people in their communities, through for example harnessing the power of volunteers to support people who may be less able to access online resources, and we will provide guidance regarding safeguarding, facilitation and accessibility. Finally, by working with participants, providers and partners we will use the learning from this project to enable organisations to support their communities as they adapt to post-lockdown Britain.
