The UK Commission on Covid Commemoration

The UK Commission on Covid Commemoration completes its work.

The Commission has delivered its final report to the Prime Minister.

The Commission is grateful to all those who attended our events, completed our surveys and all those who sent in their views. We are especially grateful to the bereaved families that gave their time to share their difficult stories with us and their thoughts on the best way to commemorate the loss of their loved ones.

Throughout our work, we found that, while people often spoke of space and time to reflect on their individual and collective loss, they also wanted us to look ahead in our recommendations and to try to build resilience in preparation for a future pandemic or other hazardous event.

We hope that our report and recommendations reflect the views shared with us.
