As we approach what has been called the most depressing day of the year, this week's blog looks into how mental health and wellbeing charities are changing the narratives surrounding "Blue Monday" to make it a more positive day and to encourage the British public to speak more about mental health.

The fourth in our series of reports on the impact of Covid-19 on charities, this weeks blog summarises our findings from 20 interviews conducted in May/June with charities of varied sizes and sectors on their experience of the pandemic, as well as hopes and fears for the future.

This week's blog summarises 10 key findings from our 'Hidden But Vital: Charities and the Pandemic' report, just in case you're short on time. 

This weekend we continued our series of polls to understand public reactions to the pandemic and charities. Case numbers, hospitalisations and deaths have all increased dramatically since our previous wave of fieldwork so now is a particularly important moment to try and gauge how the public is feeling. Explore our results in this week's blog.

In our blog this week, we're starting a conversation about how the Covid-19 pandemic may affect the public's attitudes towards science, scientists and science policy and, in turn, medical/health charities whose work relies on scientific research.

We interviewed a number of people in health professional engagement roles to understand how their work has changed with the Covid-19 pandemic. Discover key findings from the interviews in this week's blog.

This week's blog analyses the results from our fourth wave of research with the general public on the Coronavirus and charities. We analyse the change in public attitudes, including issues of concern, trust in sources of information and willingness to support charities.

We reveal and unpack some of the key findings from our latest poll with the general public looking at attitudes towards Covid-19 and the charity sector. 

We conducted 24 telephone interviews with charities in the last week to find out what life is like for them and their organisations at this time. Find out what they told us.

To find out how charities are responding to the first phase of the Coronavirus Covid-19 outbreak, we conducted twenty-four interviews speaking to a range of charity sector staff from CEOs, directors, heads and officers working in strategy, fundraising, marketing and communications, and some front-line staff working on service provision.
