Perhaps one of the least-anticipated and most remarkable impacts of coronavirus has been the resurgence of a communal spirit at the macro and micro level in the UK. Millions of Britons observed restrictions to their daily lives to while hundreds of thousands volunteered to work on the frontlines of the pandemic or support people in their communities who needed help to make it through the darkest months of lockdown. That sense of solidarity was also realised at the micro level with individual streets up seeing neighbours reach out to one another and helping them through the crisis. In this way, the pandemic supercharged something that prominent figures in Kingston Borough like Robin Hutchinson, who directs acclaimed Tolworth collective The Community Brain, had carefully been nurturing before Covid-19 arrived.
