How are Britons displaying their community spirit both online and offline? What would help people feel more financially confident? And how will new pet owners care for their furry friends post-pandemic?
Lockdown gave us a glimpse into the world of those who have long lived without the support and interaction of others. As a result, a contradictory social landscape began to emerge.
After a year of shielding, older adults are pushing for new narratives. Many have adopted new digital behaviours and with most of them now fully vaccinated, they’re making plans to travel.
People had to find new solutions to their physical needs during lockdown. So, after this period of ‘skin hunger’, it’s perhaps no surprise that they're getting more comfortable talking about sex.
During lockdowns, people’s finances went in very different directions. Some households managed to save over £7,000, but many others experienced a pandemic-related drop in earnings.
