Before the COVID-19 pandemic, UK families living on low incomes faced significant financial challenges. However, the national lockdowns exacerbated their situation, making life even more difficult. This book aims to shed light on the experiences of these families by exposing the ways in which pre-existing inequalities, insecurities, and hardships were amplified during the pandemic. It explores the experiences of home-schooling, social security receipt, government support, community support, and charitable support.

The book draws on the Covid Realities research programme, which was developed in partnership with parents and carers. The research programme aimed to understand the impact of the pandemic on poverty and low-income family life. The book sets out the flaws in the current status quo and presents a compelling agenda for change.

Furthermore, readers can explore more about the challenges of conducting research during COVID-19 by referring to the book 'COVID-19 Collaborations: Researching Poverty and Low-Income Family Life during the Pandemic (Open Access)'. This book provides valuable insights into the experiences of families during the pandemic and highlights the need for continued research and support.

In conclusion, this book offers a powerful account of the experiences of UK families living on low incomes during the COVID-19 pandemic. It highlights the amplified inequalities, insecurities, and hardships faced by these families and provides a roadmap for change. By understanding the experiences of these families, we can work towards creating a more equitable and supportive society for all.
