We would like to find out about the impact of coronavirus on you and your community.

We would like to hear from people in Aberdeen about how you have been affected by the pandemic, particularly if your work is connected to the oil, gas or renewable energy sectors.

The UK economy contracted by 20% in the first month of lockdown and Nicola Sturgeon says the pandemic is likely to have a “significant impact” on jobs in Scotland. How has your area been affected? Is investment falling? Do you feel less secure at work? How do you view your future? Do you think the situation has been managed well? Do you expect people to leave the area?

Who are the people we should speak to in our reporting? Are any grassroots projects or initiatives making a difference to people’s lives? Are there any support groups for people in the energy sector who have been affected economically?
