Mutual aid means that we look out for each other: you support me and I support you. In the wake of Covid-19, thousands of new groups have been set up on these principles. But is there a danger of losing the 'mutual'? In this special episode, guests hosts Vidhya Alakeson and Angela Fell are taking over the podcast to explore the role of mutuality in improving neighbourhoods. They talk to Neil McInroy, chief executive of the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES), and Jess Steele, director of Jericho Road Solutions, and they discuss how communities can work with local government to rewire a system broken by market forces.
