Legacy Project

When public inquiries conclude, there is often a memento or some future-facing activity to remind the public of the issue that was investigated by the inquiry. This type of activity is focused on legacy.  

In this Inquiry, The Legacy Project is a collaborative piece of work with input from a focus group of sub-postmasters to understand how to mark the Horizon scandal in history so that its effects are not forgotten.  

Our work with The Postal Museum is one aspect of the Legacy Project. Further updates will be provided in due course. 

The Inquiry is working with The Postal Museum on part of its Legacy Project. This partnership follows a series of workshops in which a focus group of people impacted by the scandal shared their ideas for a Legacy Project. 

Over the course of four meetings, the group of 12 current and former sub-postmasters or family members discussed what they wanted from the Project. Many referenced a desire to work with The Postal Museum to create a lasting legacy for the scandal. 

The Postal Museum has met with members of the focus group to discuss their hopes and visions for the museum’s involvement in the project.
