‘Lest we Forget’
We acknowledge and remember the impact of human conflict, and the often heavy losses suffered as a result of them. Armistice Day is an opportunity to reflect on this, and this evening’s meeting is intended to highlight the valuable work of agencies and support networks that have emerged to bring practical aid and comfort to those who have suffered injury, trauma, or bereavement.
With thanks to local group volunteers Robbie, Ellen and Izzy.
