This two-volume set of Rapid Responses explores the urgent need to put co-production and participatory approaches at the heart of responses to the pandemic and demonstrates how policymakers, health and social care practitioners, patients, service users, carers and public contributors can make this happen.
The second volume focuses on methods and means of co-producing during a pandemic. It explores a variety of case studies from across the global North and South and addresses the practical considerations of co-producing knowledge both now - at a distance - and in the future when the pandemic is over.

This two-volume set of Rapid Responses explores the urgent need to put co-production and participatory approaches at the heart of responses to the pandemic and demonstrates how policymakers, health and social care practitioners, patients, service users, carers and public contributors can make this happen.
The first volume investigates how, at the outset of the pandemic, the limits of existing structures severely undermined the potential of co-production. It also gives voice to a diversity of marginalised communities to illustrate how they have been affected and to demonstrate why co-produced responses are so important both now during this pandemic and in the future.
The voluntary sector was central to the COVID-19 response: fulfilling basic needs, highlighting new and existing inequalities and coordinating action where the state had been slow to respond.
This book curates rigorous academic, policy and practice-based research into the response and adaptation of the UK voluntary sector during the pandemic. Contributions explore the ways the sector responded to new challenges and the longer-term consequences for the sector’s workforce, volunteers and beneficiaries.
Written for researchers and practitioners, this book considers what the voluntary sector can learn from the pandemic to maximise its contribution in the event of future crises.
Introduction The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed longstanding health and social inequalities in minoritised ethnic communities in England ( Public Health England, 2020 ). The ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests in 2020 also generated a lot of interest in racism and social inequalities. Research on the impact of COVID-19 on minoritised community-led organisations highlighted that nine out of 10 organisations could shut down because of funding challenges ( Murray, 2020 ). In response to public interest and the research findings, funders dedicated emergency funds to
many challenges, but ultimately with the building of trust by skilled leadership and the right individuals, the Black-led micro-organisations were able to access sustainable long-term funding.

recorded (depending on the victim-survivor’s preference) and were then transcribed and anonymised at the point of transcription. All 26 victim-survivors who participated in semi-structured interviews were female. One participant identified as lesbian and another bisexual. All were aged between 18–34 (n=8) and 35–59 (n=18). Two women identified as disabled with the type of disability reported as autism spectrum condition (ASC) (n=1) and poor mental health affecting daily life (n=1). Three interviewees identified as coming from a minoritised ethnic community. Participants
families, with lone-parent households, large families and families from minoritised ethnic communities most at risk of the effects of poverty and insecurity (for example, O’Connell et al, 2019 ; Stewart et al, 2021 ). To paraphrase Berlant ( 2012 ), the patterns discussed here highlight the ways in which resources are ‘hoarded’, both materially and affectively, under the guise of political austerity. They show a wider context of ongoing change – child and family poverty is increasing at the same time as services to support children and families are diminishing
Research (2020) released a funding opportunity focused on COVID- 19 and 134 Working Together at a Distance mental health in minoritised ethnic communities which aligned with our intended research. However, we realised that bureaucratic and administrative barriers made the application process both confusing and daunting. Our team had little experience in applying for such research grants, and the process quickly revealed itself as impenetrable without the collaboration, and implied legitimisation, of an academic institution. This, we felt, required a huge time
expansion of the existing international Black Lives Matter movement and prompted global demonstrations. These events brought significant attention to existing structures of racism and discrimination and, due to their timing, focused a spotlight on disparities in the risk and outcomes of COVID- 19. Yet policymakers in the UK did not pay sufficient attention to either the impact of COVID- 19 on Black, Asian, and minoritised ethnic communities, nor the need to involve them in their response to it. Black, Asian and people from other minoritised ethnic groups have

For the period over which we are writing, and to reflect the lens of the time, I will be using the term BAME interchangeably to also reflect some recent reference to ‘Black and Minoritised Ethnic’ communities. In so doing, the more commonly understood abbreviated form is retained and, hopefully, reflects continuity and
