A special event for Islanders to remember their loved ones is returning to Mountbatten this summer.
Remembering with Ribbons will be held during July and August for people to leave colourful tributes in Mountbatten’s Chelsea Garden.
The ribbons can be personalised and they are free for anyone to display.
If people wish to leave a donation they will receive a special ribbon pack to personalise their dedication.
Hartley: Remembering is an important part of our strapline
Mountbatten CEO Nigel Hartley said,
“We are delighted to bring back Remembering with Ribbons this summer.
“Remembering is an important part of our Mountbatten strapline – living, dying, remembering.
“This is a really special event because it can feel very personal, but it also brings people together to remember.”
Donate a ribbon
Anyone who donates to place a ribbon will be helping Mountbatten support other Islanders who are bereaved or who need expert care.
Donations can be placed online or by calling Mountbatten’s fundraising team on 217300.
Afternoon tea
Over the summer, families and friends have been encouraged to coincide their visit by booking afternoon tea at Mountbatten Cafe.
It costs £15 per person and can be booked by calling 217341.
