It's #buyastrangerabook day! @covidmemorialwall.bsky.social is offering to buy someone a copy of "When This Is Over : Reflections on an Unequal Pandemic" which has a section on the Wall, including a contribution from a trustee, @franfd.bsky.social If you'd like a copy, just let us know. UK only.

We love the review of #28YearsLater from @davidhering.bsky.social's substack, 'Notes From the End of Cinema' - especially these insightful comments about trauma and memorials. ❤️

The National Covid Memorial Wall is now a registered charity! ❤️🥳

The volunteers (in person and online) continue to have positive meetings with the DCMS on the future of the wall. ❤️

Five years after the pandemic began, we are still updating the number of covid dead. ❤️

The weather was cold, but our hearts were warm as we received this incredibly generous £1650 donation from Tim, Nikki, Bess and Rosie, who took on the 3-peaks 48-hour Tatras challenge in Poland in memory of Pat and Jan, who are remembered on the wall. Thank you so much! ❤️

#DayOfReflection 2025. ❤️

A second mention of our beloved wall in Parliament today shows an understanding that the wall is an ongoing thing, a living memorial to our beloved dead. ❤️

London’s Covid Memorial Wall: A heartfelt tribute illuminated with festive lights https://buff.ly/40966Dv #news #london #londonnews

Two dates for your diary: Today @dcmsgovuk.bsky.social and @lisanandymp.bsky.social announced March 9th as the 2025 Day of Reflection. March 29th 2025 is the 4th anniversary of the memorial wall. We will be holding events at the wall on both days. ♥️

On the final day of Module 3 of the Covid Inquiry it was an honour for the volunteers to have a visit from leading voices of CATA (Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance). We are so appreciative of their tireless efforts to get the government to accept that covid is airborne. ❤️

Today Dr Barry Jones and his colleagues from the Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance (CATA) helped us update the number of covid dead. ♥️

More proof that the volunteers often work in the wet! ♥️ (Beautiful photo, though...)

So wonderful to know that we have support from such brilliant campaigners ❤️❤️

At the #CovidInquiry today, we noticed these stitched hearts on display. "A thousand hearts were shattered..." ♥️

An important day at the #CovidInquiry today as four bereaved people take the stand in turn to speak about their experience. Sending Anna Louise, Margaret, Saleyha and Martina all our love and thanks for speaking on behalf of so many. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

It’s a bitter morning - in both senses - as some of the wall volunteer team head back to the #CovidInquiry to bear witness to the disgraced former Secretary of State for Health & Social Care answering questions for a second day in this module.

Earlier this year, @franfd.bsky.social, @rum7.bsky.social, and I spoke to Southwark News about why it's important to #MakeTheWallPermanent.

Sunday at the memorial wall. ♥️

Incredibly powerful from Ben Jennings. This is how the volunteers feel. ❤

Two hundred and forty five thousand and sixty-nine deaths in the UK have been officially recorded up to 25th October with covid-19 verified as a cause of death on the death certificates. Men, women and children. Dead from covid. 316 more than 7 days ago. #CovidIsNotOver

Introducing our new ‘highlights from today’s hearing at the @covidinquiryuk’. This will be a hugely important module for many of us who have a loved one’s name on the wall. We’ll share easy-to-digest headlines to keep people updated. Full coverage on the inquiry YouTube.
