Every Story Matters
Thank you to everyone who has shared their story through Every Story Matters
This was the largest listening exercise ever undertaken by a UK public Inquiry. Tens of thousands of people shared their experience of the pandemic and the impact it had on them and the people around them.
On 23 May 2025, Every Story Matters closed but these stories will continue to play a crucial role in the Inquiry’s investigations. They will become part of the public record, and help Baroness Heather Hallett, the Inquiry Chair, make recommendations for the future.
