Abstract	"Families in Tower Hamlets" is an ongoing research project led by University College London that explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the lives of families with young children and pregnant women. This report is of initial findings from the 'first 500' respondents, who completed the survey between July and November 2020. The authors present findings in terms of seven main ethnic groups that broadly represent proportions in the local population: one third of the population identify as White British and White Irish; a further third identify as Bangladeshi; and a final third identify with a wide range of other ethnicities. There are marked differences within this group so the following categories were used: Other White; Asian Other; Somali; Black & Black Other; and Other ethnic group to illustrate the experiences of respondents. For this study, the focus is on five main areas: (1) family livelihoods; (2) housing and environment; (3) supporting children at home; (4) health and social support services; and (5) participants' own health and mental health. Respondents were predominantly women, mothers or mothers to-be, although there were 61 male respondents, either fathers or fathers to-be. The study is comprised of three main phases: (1) a longitudinal community survey of parents with children under five, and pregnant women, in two waves approximately six months apart; (2) a longitudinal qualitative panel of 20 households sampled from the survey responses carried out in two waves six months apart; and (3) a desk-based community assets mapping to ascertain how the local service landscape had changed during the summer of 2020. This report describes the study design and methods, findings, and concluding reflections.
