What the project is for

The Grenfell Tower fire was a national tragedy in which 72 people lost their lives, with a profound and lasting impact on the bereaved families, survivors and the wider community. The Grenfell Programme oversees the works to carefully take down the Grenfell Tower, and works with the Grenfell Tower Memorial Commission to deliver a fitting and lasting memorial that honours those who lost their lives, a second site to carefully lay the Tower to rest and an archive. The programme further remains committed to working with bereaved families, survivors, the immediate community, partners across government, health services and the Council to ensure that families and the community continue to receive the support they need in the long term.

Departmental delivery commentary

The SRO Delivery Confidence Assessment rating at 25/26-Q4 remained at Amber. Delivery across the programme remains achievable, with active management of risks and issues. In November 2025, Freehaus was selected as the new Multi-Disciplinary Design Team (MDDT). The MDDT is in the process of developing a Memorial Design in collaboration with the community. Engagement with internal and external stakeholders remains critical and a core focus for the programme team.
