Before Covid-19, FareShare UK regularly distributed surplus food to third sector organisations across Leeds from their warehouses in Barnsley and Beeston. Once lockdown measures began in the w/c 16 March, Leeds City Council opened a larger warehouse in Leeds to provide space to store more food and arrange emergency food delivery and distribution withing social distance guidelines The Leeds Warehouse was established as a response to Covid-19 and receives food from Fareshare in Barnsley and Beeston and is an indication of the amount of food being delivered in the Council's joint and partnership response to Emergency Food Provision during the pandemic. The total amount of food to Leeds is all the Food being delivered to Leeds by FareShare. This figure includes food to the Leeds Warehouse and food to third sector organisations such as food banks, soup kitchens, and charities. From 15/07/20 the data was changed to being recorded on a fortnightly instead of weekly basis. NB The large Leeds Warehouse was wound down from 1st Sept, after which point a smaller warehouse was set up to make up food parcels as part of the post lockdown emergency support service. From this date the report shows food being delivered to third sector organisations and is reported on an adhoc basis.

This is the data of 10 English primary schools, provided during the covid-19 lockdowns of 2020 and 2021. The longitudinal data consists of 452 EYFS pupils at time 1, and 442 children at time 2, after they progress into year 1. Pupil data includes a range of Early Years Goals, demographic data, and reading levels.

School level data consists of provision of lessons, activities, resources and contact with home during the lockdowns. The data also includes survey responses from caregivers (t1 n=190, t2 n = 151) to the participating pupils, who provide information on educational practices as home during the lockdowns.

When primary school children return in the Autumn, they will have missed more than a term of usual school provision. The disruption may exacerbate existing inequalities in academic attainment, and potentially create new ones. This project focuses on the impact of school closures on pupils who are at the important transition point between reception and Year 1.

In reception, through adult-led instruction, children learn literacy, maths, and language skills that provide the foundation for later academic success. Instruction during the school closure period has varied considerably and inequalities in children's learning experiences during the COVID-19 school closures are evident. These include disparities in the support and resources provided by schools (more active forms of support in advantaged areas), access to technology and study space (more limited for disadvantaged families), and the extent to which parents have been able to support their children. Teachers have reported IT problems, difficulty providing usual standards of teaching remotely, and lower engagement in less advantaged children. As a consequence children are now likely to be on different developmental pathways. For some, progress may have maintained or even accelerated, but for others, progress may have stalled and previously learned skills may have been lost.

We urgently need to be able to identify those children whose learning has been most affected by school closures and to better understand the factors that predict poor rates of progress. The usual end of reception EYFS profile has not been completed for this cohort, leaving Year 1 practitioners with limited information to inform support decisions. It is vital that these data are collected as soon as possible. If pupils are unable to recover their rates of learning and secure the foundation skills needed for accessing the school curriculum, then the consequences for their long-term educational outcomes are potentially very serious. In order to provide more differentiated forms of support remotely, in the event of future closures, schools need knowledge of who is likely to be at risk of experiencing the greatest disruption to their learning.

Using data collected by schools before closures, at the start of the Autumn term and later in the spring term, we will investigate the factors that have moderated and mediated pupil progress in the Early Years Foundation Stage Profile (EYFSP) goals and reading levels. A large, superdiverse city will serve as the research site to ensure that findings can be generalised to the national context. The data will immediately benefit schools in deciding how to allocate catch-up support. We will convey project findings to policy makers and third sector organisations to inform national strategies aimed at remediating the negative impacts of lockdown post-COVID-19 and addressing inequalities in the event of future school closures.

These data were generated as part of an ESRC-funded research project examining the impact of the COVID-19 crisis on U.K. family home environments, including children’s health, psychological wellbeing, eating, physical activity and sedentary behaviours. The data include caregiver reported information provided as part of the telephone-administered Home Environment Interview (HEI) and child-reported questionnaire data. The HEI and child questionnaires were completed in three phases: T1 (November 2019 - March 2020), T2 (August 2020-March 2021) and T3 (April 2021-October 2021).

Supplementary files for article The effect of COVID rehabilitation for ongoing symptoms post hospitalisation with COVID-19 (PHOSP-R): protocol for a randomised parallel group controlled trial on behalf of the PHOSP consortium Introduction: Many adults hospitalised with COVID-19 have persistent symptoms such as fatigue, breathlessness and brain fog that limit day-to-day activities. These symptoms can last over 2 years. Whilst there is limited controlled studies on interventions that can support those with ongoing symptoms, there has been some promise in rehabilitation interventions in improving function and symptoms either using face-to-face or digital methods, but evidence remains limited and these studies often lack a control group. Methods and analysis: This is a nested single-blind, parallel group, randomised control trial with embedded qualitative evaluation comparing rehabilitation (face-to-face or digital) to usual care and conducted within the PHOSP-COVID study. The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions on exercise capacity, quality of life and symptoms such as breathlessness and fatigue. The primary outcome is the Incremental Shuttle Walking Test following the eight week intervention phase. Secondary outcomes include measures of function, strength and subjective assessment of symptoms. Blood inflammatory markers and muscle biopsies are an exploratory outcome. The interventions last eight weeks and combine symptom-titrated exercise therapy, symptom management and education delivered either in a face-to-face setting or through a digital platform (www.yourcovidrecovery.nhs.uk). The proposed sample size is 159 participants, and data will be intention-to-treat analyses comparing rehabilitation (face-to-face or digital) to usual care. Ethics and dissemination: Ethical approval was gained as part of the PHOSP-COVID study by Yorkshire and the Humber Leeds West Research NHS Ethics Committee, and the study was prospectively registered on the ISRCTN trial registry (ISRCTN13293865). Results will be disseminated to stakeholders, including patients and members of the public, and published in appropriate journals. Article summary Strengths and limitations of this study • This protocol utilises two interventions to support those with ongoing symptoms of COVID-19 • This is a two-centre parallel-group randomised controlled trial • The protocol has been supported by patient and public involvement groups who identified treatments of symptoms and activity limitation as a top priority

The Leeds City Council Annual Travel to Work Survey 2020 ran between 15th October and 15th November 2020. The survey was moved from its traditional spring timeframe as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic and related lockdowns. As with previous years the survey ran via iTrace utilising the established database of businesses, organisations and schools. To reflect the substantial changes the pandemic has had on businesses across the city, the survey included questions to gauge how mode of travel has changed from Pre-Covid times to current arrangements. The survey also included a series of questions related to car parking. The survey received 8738 responses, made up of 4653 business responses, 2935 Leeds City Council employees and 1411 from schools. The number of responses is substantially lower than previous years. A number of businesses remain closed, and although the survey was launched when a tiered system was in place, a national lockdown was announced on 31st October with all non-essential activities curtailed.

Welfare at a (Social) Distance is a major research project looking at the UK benefits system during the Covid-19 pandemic. It is funded by the Economic and Social Research Council as part of UK Research and Innovation's rapid response to COVID-19. Further information can be found on the https://hub.salford.ac.uk/welfare-at-a-social-distance/"> Welfare at a (Social) Distance project website.

The benefits system is crucial to supporting people during, and after, the COVID-19 crisis. With a growing number of new claimants, it faces two challenges. Firstly, to ensure people quickly get the money they need. Secondly, to make sure that people are helped to quickly return to work or supported further if unable to work.

This project provided vital information on how these challenges are being met and where the system struggles.

The project includes several components:

1. Three waves of YouGov quantitative surveys of new and existing benefit claimants (wave 1 n=8k, wave 2 and wave 3 with refreshment samples n=6.5-7.5k);
2. A quantitative survey of NON-claimants in July-Aug 2020 (n=2.8k), from a smaller related project funded by the Health Foundation - this includes those who tried and failed to claim, are in need but ineligible, or who may be eligible but decided not to claim.
3. Three waves of YouGov quantitative surveys of the general population about their attitudes to benefits (wave 1 n=1.6k, wave 2 and wave 3 n=3.4k);
4. Two waves of qualitative interviews (via phone/Zoom) with new and existing claimants (74 initial interviews and 60 follow-up interviews). These will be added to the UKDS study as soon as they are ready to release;
5. Qualitative interviews (via phone/Zoom) with organisations that provide support to benefit claimants, in four case study areas - Salford, Leeds, Newham (London), and Thanet (East Kent) (32 interviews). These will be added to the UKDS study as soon as they are ready to release.

Latest edition information

For the third edition (April 2023), data from the Wave 3 survey (May-June 2022) survey data have been added to the study. New versions of the previous datasets from Waves 1 and 2 (with the exception of the non-claimant survey, which is unchanged) have also been included. The user guide and questionnaire documents have been updated accordingly and documents relating to the qualitative research have been added.

A set of 165 qualitative interviews gathered at WP2 and WP3 were added to the study in May 2023.

Fly tipping data from a large selection of UK Local authorities. The data was accrued through a Freedom of information request to all local authorities asking for monthly counts of recorded fly tipping.

The original purpose was to understand how the covid-19 induced closure of waste facilities had effected the fly-tipping rates across the country.

The COVID-19 crisis is changing the shape of crime. Drawing on crime science, this research will inform evidence-based policy and practice.

Lockdown requires people to stay home, leading to domestic violence and child abuse increases. Yet social distancing means police are arresting fewer suspects: reduced services at time of greater need. COVID-19 gives fraudsters a 'conversation starter' to approach people in-person, via text, email and online. Remote working and online leisure activities, furloughs and financial difficulties, provide more potential targets for online crimes of various types. Vulnerable groups including the elderly and disabled are more at risk.

Yet a Harvard study (Kissler et al. Science, 14 April) suggests that, absent a vaccine, social distancing may continue into 2022, perhaps 2024. So we will anticipate crime effects of prolonged, graduated or cyclical exit strategies.

We will also anticipate post-crisis scenarios, seeking to sustain declines in crimes like burglary, to avoid them returning to 'normal'.

We will use (1) national police data, (2) detailed data from three police partners, (3) fraud and e-crime data from industry, and (4) sources from other agencies such as Childline (for unreported crime). Pre/post-change analysis will use a combination of time-series and spatial modelling. Nesting force-level analysis in the national and international context will allow us to gauge scalability.

We have police and industry partners, national (Home office, National Police Chief's Council, College of Policing) and international advisors. The aim is to inform policy and practice, producing 16 deliverables including policy and practice briefings and research articles.

The size of the Europe Hand Sanitizer Market was valued at USD XX Million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD XXX Million by 2032, with an expected CAGR of XXX % during the forecast period. The European market for hand sanitizer has been strongly accelerating in recent years, mainly with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing people to pay closer attention to hygiene and ensuring effective hand sanitization. A gel, spray, or foam format of hand sanitizer has emerged as essential both in public and private spheres where consumers increasingly prioritize convenience, portability, and effective germ protection during the use of products. Amongst the major players, Purell, Dettol, and Ecolab dominate the market in Europe for alcohol-based as well as alcohol-free sanitizers enriched with moisturizing agents. Eco-friendly, skin-friendly, and natural product demands have seen an increase over the past couple of years where consumers prefer such sanitizers using aloe vera, essential oils, and sustainable packaging. Hygiene practices are now deeply embedded in everyday life, and hand sanitizers will remain in demand; formulation and packaging innovations will be a trend that shapes the industry. Health-consciousness and safety will drive growth in the market in the near future. Recent developments include: In April 2020, Unilever began adapting its existing production lines to meet the unprecedented demand for hand sanitizers during the COVID-19 outbreak. The Leeds factory in the UK, for instance, manufactures deodorants for the company. However, the company were producing much-needed supplies of hand sanitizers for the NHS at this factory over the past month. .

Pirms Covid-19 FareShare UK regulāri izplatīja pārtikas pārpalikumus trešā sektora organizācijām Līdsā no savām noliktavām Bārnslijā un Beestonā.

Pēc tam, kad 16. martā sākās pārvietošanās ierobežojumi, Līdsas pilsētas dome atvēra lielāku noliktavu Līdsā, lai nodrošinātu vietu lielāka pārtikas daudzuma uzglabāšanai un organizētu ārkārtas pārtikas piegādi un izplatīšanu, ievērojot sociālā attāluma pamatnostādnes.

Līdsas noliktava tika izveidota, reaģējot uz Covid-19, un tā saņem pārtiku no Fareshare Bārnslijā un Beestonā, un tā norāda uz pārtikas daudzumu, kas tiek piegādāts Padomes kopīgajā un partnerības reakcijā uz ārkārtas pārtikas nodrošinājumu pandēmijas laikā.

Kopējais pārtikas daudzums Līdsai ir viss ēdiens, ko Līdsai piegādā FareShare.Šis skaitlis ietver pārtiku Līdsas noliktavai un pārtiku trešā sektora organizācijām, piemēram, pārtikas bankām, zupas virtuvēm un labdarības organizācijām.

No 2020. gada 15. jūlija dati tika mainīti uz datiem, ko reģistrē reizi divās nedēļās, nevis reizi nedēļā.

NB Lielā Līdsas noliktava tika likvidēta no 1. septembra, pēc tam tika izveidota mazāka noliktava, lai izveidotu pārtikas pakas ārkārtas atbalsta dienesta ietvaros pēc mājsēdes. No šā datuma ziņojumā norādīts, ka pārtika tiek piegādāta trešā sektora organizācijām, un par to tiek ziņots pēc ad hoc principa.
