Keeping Sheffield's 'Seldom Heard Communities' Safe in the Time of Covid

In partnership with Sheffield Community Contact Tracers

"Keeping Sheffield's 'Seldom Heard Communities' Safe in the Time of Covid" will highlight some of the ways that Sheffield's most disadvantaged communities have fared during the Covid pandemic. The Black, Asian and ethnic minority communities have developed a raft of activities that have helped to ameliorate the worst effects of the pandemic.

The session will feature a short documentary film followed by a panel discussion involving some of the leaders of these communities. Perhaps there are ways that the wider Sheffield community could learn from their approach to community protection and support?

Covid has been a massive part of the life of all Sheffield communities for the last couple of years. This Festival of Debate 2022 event will bring the reality of the pandemic - and Sheffield's unique response to those most vulnerable - into the spotlight.
