Ms LilyRose Wogan-Martin:

I am very lucky that I live in Marino, an area where there are a lot of places to walk. It keeps you interested. There are lots of places to shop if you need anything. What worked really well in my community was that on one of the first days we were at home, one of the people who lives a few doors down, brought a pack of chalk for my brother. They sanitised it and put it into a plastic bag. That kept him outside on the driveway for hours. He was around seven or eight at the time. Younger kids were very hard to maintain during the lockdown because they were wanting to do many things. My brother did not really understand.

Communities are really important: a few times my neighbours would need something, and we would sanitise it and give it to them. There are so many community things that worked. Some things that did not work were probably where people who lived in apartments or far away from many places did not really have anywhere to go. They probably felt really lonely and had nowhere to really go. It was like we were all isolating but they were just isolated and alone. They did not really know what to do.
