Last chance to take part in Great Big Lockdown Survey and help us tell your story

For generations to come, this moment in history will be seen as era-defining for the British people - and the world.

And you can help tell that story by answering a few simple questions.

Our Great Big Lockdown Survey, which is being hosted across multiple local, regional and national titles, aims to collate the wide variety of experiences of the British public during the coronavirus lockdown.

We need your voice to be heard so your lived experience in these difficult times is included among the multitude of stories already being told.

The survey takes mere minutes but will help us get behind the headlines and paint a truer picture than ever before of how the British people coped - and changed - during the generation-defining crisis.

An unprecedented lockdown has seen communities pull together to help those most in need.

And it has exposed major modern deficiencies in societal systems, founded to prop up the vulnerable in times of need, but which have been left decimated by a decade of austerity.

The stark differences between the haves and the have nots, the salaried and the self-employed, the city types and the rural folk, are being exposed.

We need voices from towns and cities, from up north to down south.

If you struggled to keep a business going, if you have lost your job or been furloughed, fill in the survey and use your voice.

How have you coped with isolation? Has the crisis brought your community closer together?

And are you the local hero - or finding yourself uplifted by the heroic actions of others?

The questions also aim to reveal how your habits and priorities may have altered - possibly for good.

In the home, how have your cooking habits changed? What are you doing to keep entertained?

What impact has it had on family life? How are your children adjusting to such a major change and has your work-life balance been thrown completely out of whack?

Please help us tell your story as we look to provide a true snapshot of the biggest national crisis since World War 2.
