Story
We all faced the Covid-19 pandemic together, but behind closed doors, each experience was unique. As a result of this an anthology of poems, penned by staff, volunteers, residents and children of employees from the London boroughs of Kensington and Chelsea and Westminster, invites us to consider the pandemic from many of those individual perspectives.
As well as capturing this historic period to share with others, it is hoped these poems will prompt much-needed discussion around mental health and wellbeing, reminding us all that we are not alone in the many challenges we face in the wake of Covid-19.
