Local Needs Databank
The Local Needs Databank (UK) is an open set of needs and Covid-19 data, specifically about those in financial hardship in the UK.
Our goal is to bring our diverse networks into more effective coordination, for the duration of this crisis and beyond.
In recent weeks, new mutual aid networks have sprung up around the country. Other older networks have been re-activated, and still more have been around for a long time and never stopped being active. We haven't seen any mechanism for these networks to communicate directly with one another, so we decided to build one. We know that we have a lot to learn from each other. Our goal is to bring our diverse networks into more effective coordination, for the duration of this crisis and beyond.
