The last year has been difficult for everyone in different ways.
The data shows that Minority Ethnic communities were hit hardest with COVID.
We are keen to understand how COVID has affected these communities within Warwickshire.
The survey will ask questions about how COVID has affected you. This information would be really helpful to understand where we need to support communities in our recovery from COVID-19.
Please take part in this survey and encourage others from BAME communities to take part in the survey. Your details will be kept confidential.
The survey is open until 30th April 2021: http://warwickshire.gov.uk/covidsurvey

Avon Dassett Annual Parish Meeting will take place on Wednesday 5th May at 7pm. The Annual Parish Meeting is a legacy from the Middle Ages, when Local Councils did not exist, and all local decision making was carried out by meetings of the whole community, taking place in the church vestry.
The Annual Parish Meeting is open to all electors, who have the right not only to attend but also to speak on any matter of local interest. This is in contrast to a Council meeting, where electors who are not Councillors have no automatic right to speak (though the parish council does have a set time when electors can raise matters of concern to them).
There will also be a regular parish council meeting and the parish council AGM taking place via Zoom.
In Warwickshire, a group has been set up to support those suffering from the emotional effects of Long Covid via a partnership between Warwickshire County Council and Brunswick Healthy Living Centre (‘BHLC’).
If you are interested in joining this group or obtaining further details, please contact longcovidsupport@brunswickhlc.org.uk or call 01926 422123.
A welcome pack and registration is available by following this link.
(BHLC is a registered charity which provides services related to health and well being, and is based at Brunswick Hub in Leamington Spa)
