Chapter 12: Our teacher called Covid

Our pledges

At the beginning of the report, I wrote about how important it was to capture and use the learning from our pandemic experiences. These are the lessons that I've taken from Gateshead's Covid stories. Firstly, I want to re-affirm our Thrive pledges. 

  • Put people and families at the heart of everything we do
  • Tackle inequalities, so people have a fair chance
  • Support our communities to support themselves and each other
  • Invest in our economy to provide sustainable opportunities for employment, innovation and growth
  • Work together and fight for a better future for Gateshead
