In the midst of a crisis, reasons for anxiety and sadness can be plentiful. But look closely and there are many Reasons for Hope too. Together, we have a duty to collect and share these reasons for hope, as they help us to cope with the uncertainty and to begin to believe that as a society, we can #BuildBackBetter.

We have started to collect #ReasonsForHope, you can read them here. Of course, there are always more reasons to be hopeful and that is why we want to read yours. Please tell us in roughly 300 words (fewer is fine, too) where you are seeing hopeful change or opportunity despite the bleakness of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis.

We look forward to reading your thoughts, and to learn from them. The best of your contributions will make it into the Reasons For Hope collection on the Compass website.

Thank you so much for helping us to make hope possible!
