Tomorrow (Wednesday, 23 March 2022), Redbridge Council will support the National Day of Reflection', marking the second anniversary of the first Covid-19 lockdown.
It is a day to support the millions of people in the UK who've lost loved ones during the coronavirus pandemic and reflect on the lives of the people we've lost.
In support of this occasion, Redbridge Council has unveiled a video showcasing how everyone in the borough came together to help one another during the pandemic.
Redbridge Council stood shoulder to shoulder with local people, our NHS, public health teams, frontline heroes & volunteers, and together we helped keep Redbridge safe.
