# COVID-19: ECONOMIC RECOVERY

## Case study 1: Economic development

With the publication of the ONS figures last week for the first quarter showing a 20% fall in GDP the climb back up the recovery mountain looks daunting. But councils have already set up base camp and have routes to a new summit mapped out.

**Green recovery**

All our clients are reviewing recovery through a green lens. We are helping shape that through conversations across hundreds of thousands of people across our client base. This is such a great opportunity to make sure we deliver on climate change as we rebuild.

**Shop Local, play local, live local**

We’ve helped clients get off the blocks quickly in widening pavements, introducing pop up cycle lanes, implementing social distancing measure in order to support the safe movement of people around areas whilst engaging communities that may be affected by the change.

We are also helping to drive footfall safely to those businesses opening up through community engagement and marketing campaigns.

**Case study 2: Helping the most vulnerable**

The local response to support those in most needs has been nothing short of remarkable. The scale of volunteering demonstrated the social strength within communities. The local government response to the challenge of shielding the most vulnerable in an everchanging environment is incredible. And the response of those public health professionals on the front line truly inspiring.

We’ve helped the vulnerable and celebrated our colleagues in equal measure during this incredible humanitarian response to the crisis.

**Help connect those in need with volunteers**

Westminster Connects set up from scratch generated over 3,000 requests to volunteer, administered over 65,000 food deliveries, supported over 6000 shielded residents, with more than 40,000 acts of support and now continues to offer new volunteering roles
