Community social work is an approach that has been present in social work since its inception as a distinct field. The Covid-19 pandemic and its effects have once again shown its importance. The study aims to draw possible implications for community-based social work from the realised descriptive analysis of the data, which were obtained during contacts with the clients of the #delamcomuzu project. As part of the descriptive analysis, proportional representation, confidence intervals and, in justified cases, also correlation coefficients were used. The conclusions of the analysis of the data itself are in line with the findings of foreign research. The difficulties addressed tend to vary over time as well as between age groups. From a gender point of view, the smaller representation of men and the gendered nature of the topics of work and relationships in the family appear to be significant. The data can be used both to prepare for eventual conflict moments caused by possible further interventions of the state in the lives of citizens and also for the present time in favour of various methods of community social work.

Keywords: Covid-19, community, social work, issues of difficulty, age, gender
