The Lockdown Legacy is a book of memories, inspirational extracts of an unprecedented time written by women and young people of all ages, race, creeds, colour, and backgrounds from all corners of the world.

This time capsule ensures that future generations, and those too young now to remember in the years ahead, have a clear, true record of how the COVID-19 pandemic affected each and every one of us. We may not have all been in the same boat, but for once the world was sailing into the same storm.

For some, the restrictions of lockdown have been nothing more than a government-imposed inconvenience.

For others, it has been a life-changing tragedy, the memory of which will never leave them. Future generations will have no memory of the COVID-19 pandemic at all, some generations will choose not to remember, and others will never be allowed to forget.
