Join us for this day conference to explore how to draw lessons from our experience and shape the future that we want before us.

As well as sharing our concerns and aspirations, we will hear from people who have engaged with the pandemic in their work locally.

Our lives have been disrupted by Covid pandemic, but has the turbulence brought out the best in us or exposed our weaknesses?

We have encountered angels, we will remember acts of kindness, professional devotion and a sense of common purpose in finding our way through the challenges. But Covid has also unleashed demons of loneliness and isolation. It has exacerbated disadvantage and exclusion. It has taken an unprecedented toll from our society.

Speakers include...

Professor Sir Jonathan Montgomery - co-chair of the Moral and Ethical Advisory Group in the Department of Health and Social Care about the challenges we have faced up to.

Dame Clare Moriarty - Chief Executive of Citizens Advice and formerly the first Faith and Belief Champion for the Civil Service, on the opportunities for us to reshape society for the better.

The day will be chaired by the Very Revd Dr Anthony Cane, Dean of Portsmouth. Join us to help plan how we can create a fairer future from our experiences.
