I’ve been quiet on here for a little while whilst struggling with being inside whilst shielding. I didn’t leave my apartment for 11 weeks but have now ventured outside for a few late evening walks. I feel like I am slowly re-joining the outside world! #shieldingstories

For anyone that saw my earlier tweet asking for uploads on our life during covid website, we’ve discovered a technical issue- uploads aren’t coming through to us 😩 if you’ve already uploaded stories I’m afraid these haven’t come through. Will update when it’s resolved!

Callout for people to share their experiences of the COVID-19 lockdown with Anglia Ruskin University to form an archive that can be looked back on in the years to come - today on Viral Stories ow.ly/PJGk50Ab6NJ StoryLab Research @PariPositive Dr Ceri Wilson ARU

Share your experiences of the #COVID19 lockdown with us. ARU researchers want to fill an archive, called Life During COVID, with photos, videos, artwork and words from the public. Find out how you can get involved: aru.ac.uk/news/appeal-fo…

The website is back up and running! We are inviting those who are clinically vulnerable and have been asked to shield to share videos/photos/art/written words about their experiences during the pandemic through lifeduringcovid.org and using #shieldingstories Life During Covid-19

If you have been #shielding, ARU researchers invite you to share your experiences at lifeduringcovid.org where you can also read the experiences of others. Please would you retweet UKPIPS Rare Disease UK Asthma UK British Lung Foundation Cystic Fibrosis Trust RAIRDA Macmillan Cancer Support

Lots of new contributions on lifeduringcovid.org Great to see the creative activities people are engaging in, e.g. in a recent post by Open Arts about supporting their #shielding studio members. Keep sharing your #shieldingstories through the website until 31 July
