When one of your amazing, half-marathon-running fundraisers comes to visit the wall, obviously the first thing you do is - put them straight to work! ❤️

Are you even a National Covid Memorial Wall volunteer if you don't go home with paint in your hair...? ❤️

It's hard to believe it's been three years since Baroness @nickymorgan.bsky.social, chair of the Committee for Covid Commemoration, visited our beautiful memorial. We've come so far since then, and will always be grateful for her help and support along the way. ❤️ #ThrowbackThursday

Last week, following the Government's recent announcement that the Wall is to be preserved, BBC London met up with @franfd.bsky.social and @loreleiking.bsky.social, two of our volunteers and trustees. The piece was then picked up by national news.

On #WorldAidsDay, we remember those who died from that disease - and understand the importance of their memorials.

Wishing you a peaceful night. ❤️
A poem. The text reads: "Come back to me in my dreams," I want to plead but night after night there's only silence it seems. I reach for you in the dark, but the space between us only grows. I hear echoes of your laughter, faint as a memory too far away to hold. But still each night I lie awake and plea hoping for a dream where you return to me." Lyra Wren

Yesterday, after our meeting with DCMS about the wall's permanence, we had the sad task of updating the number of covid dead. ❤️

We've been meeting regularly with the DCMS, but today's felt special: the first meeting since the announcement in Parliament that the wall will be made permanent. ❤️

A year ago today we welcomed members of CATA (Covid Airborne Transmission Alliance) including @kamgadhok.bsky.social @barryjmjones.bsky.social and @safedavid3.bsky.social
to the wall. They continue to highlight the UK failure to protect healthcare workers from life-changing respiratory diseases.❤️

Three years ago today we found this bit of heart-shaped moss on the wall, and adopted it as a memorial heart. Mossie is still going strong! ❤️ #ThrowbackThursday

Apparently today is #NationalCakeDay - the perfect opportunity to showcase some of the spectacular cakes made by volunteer (and star baker) @rum7.bsky.social ❤️

We talk about them... ❤️
A text set against a snowy scene. It reads: "We talk about them because we're proud. We talk about them, because they deserve to be remembered. We talk about them, because even though they are not physically with us, they are never far from our mind. We talk about them, because they are part of us, a part that we could never ignore or disown. We talk about them because we love them still and always will. Forever. Nothing will ever change that."

Updating the number of covid dead in the UK. ❤️

Once again, we have put up our banner and updated the number of covid dead. More than a quarter of a million people in the UK have died with covid as a cause of death on their death certificate. A devastating milestone. ❤️
