We’ve all had to adapt to changes in our day-to-day lives. Some changes have been more difficult than others, and affect each of us in different ways. The Lothian Diary Project is investigating how Covid-19 has affected all of us here in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

We want to know how your life has changed: your daily routine, the way you work and communicate with people, and how you’ve been coping during these challenging times.

Unlike other studies, we’d like to hear your story in a direct and personal way. All you have to do is create a short audio or video diary, and then answer a few survey questions.

To say thank you, we will pay you £15, or make a donation to your favourite charity.

By taking part, you can help support Lothian community members, researchers and policymakers understand the impacts of this pandemic in the long term.
