Covid-19 Memory Bank

We set-up our Covid-19 memory bank as a way of marking our experiences during the pandemic so we could preserve and share them for future generations to learn and reflect on.

So far we have had pictures of artwork, poems, blogs, videos and photos capturing everything from outdoor garden exercise and Zoom calls with friends to people sharing how the pandemic has affected them mentally and emotionally.

We’d like to encourage all of you to contribute something to that memory bank. Some things you could try:

• Provide a tribute to a loved one or friend lost to the virus
• If you have had the virus share your experience
• Share a picture of you having the vaccine and describe how you felt receiving it
• Write down how you are feeling now as we experience the hardship of our third lockdown but look ahead with hope to the end of this pandemic
• Tell us what you are planning to do when normal life returns? Is there anything that has changed due to Covid-19 that you would like to see become permanent?

You can upload your experiences on our Covid-19 Memory Bank page.
