Other ways to get involved

Planning or attending events is not the only way to take part. Here are some ideas for activities that people and groups have used before.

  • Making a ‘mini memorial’ to place in your window or elsewhere to spread awareness.
  • Lighting a candle in memory of someone you have lost.
  • Holding a moment of silent reflection for others.
  • Sharing memories or photos of loved ones or writing your experiences down.
  • Donating to a charity that helped you or your community during the pandemic.
  • Signing an online book of remembrance, to leave a digital tribute.
  • Performing an act of kindness for a friend, family member or neighbour.
