The Covid-19 pandemic changed the United Kingdom forever. To this day we are still feeling the effects.

To keep the human impact at the forefront of its work, the UK Covid-19 Inquiry includes a commemoration aspect to our work to help to ensure that people who suffered hardship and loss remain at the heart of what we do.

While the UK Covid-19 Inquiry aims to keep its legal investigations grounded in the lived experience of those that suffered hardship and loss, it is only a small part of the way in which the pandemic is being memorialised and commemorated across the UK.

দ্য UK Commission on Covid Commemoration was established in 2022 to find out how people in the UK want to commemorate the Covid pandemic on a national basis. Its final report was published in September 2023 and includes 10 recommendations about how the UK could officially recognise this moment in history. For further information on the implementation of these recommendations, you can email the Department for Culture, Media and Sport: covid.commemoration@dcms.gov.uk
