The COVID-19 Day of Reflection 2025 will take place on Sunday 9 March.
The UK Commission for Covid Commemoration’s final report was published in 2023. Their first recommendation is that ‘a UK-wide day of reflection should be established and held annually.’ Sunday 9th March 2025 is an opportunity for the communities across the UK to come together in a Day of Reflection for the COVID-19 pandemic. 2025 will mark the fifth-year anniversary since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and represents a significant milestone as we continue to remember all those affected.
In line with previous years, the Day of Reflection will offer communities the opportunity to remember lives lost since the pandemic began, reflect on the sacrifice of many, and provide space for people to reflect on their experiences of the pandemic in a way that suits them best. Should you wish to take part, events can be held on a day that suits you best, which includes the week leading up to the Day of Reflection.
This year, the day is being directly organised by the UK Government with input from the devolved governments. You can find out more on the UK Government’s website: gov.uk/dayofreflection. It has information about the day, some ideas from previous Days of Reflection and an opportunity to share the details of any events you may be holding.
