COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic is having an impact on all of us, whether we run a business, have children, elderly or vulnerable friends and family members, or if we are working in critical fields. Many of us are feeling anxious and uncertain about the future but are looking for ways to help others, to make sure that the most vulnerable are looked after. At Sheffield Digital we have been working out how we can help, and are working with the tech community, city authorities and voluntary organisations wherever we can provide value. We have compiled some information that we think will be helpful: COVID 19 Community Survey – how can Sheffield Digital help?
