The COVID-19 national lockdowns made life much harder for UK families already living on a low income. Telling the stories of these families, this book exposes the ways that pre-existing inequalities, insecurities and hardships were amplified during the pandemic. Drawing on the Covid Realities research programme, this book sets out all that is wrong with the status quo, while also offering a powerful agenda for change.
