With less than two weeks to go, we’re so grateful to everyone who’s already donated or offered to help . Thank you! ❤️

We still need a few more marshals to help guide the walking parade through Chislehurst High Street, meeting at 10am by The Queen’s Head. We’re also looking for friendly faces to hand out service sheets by the memorial.

If you can spare a little time to help our community come together safely and respectfully, we’d love to have you on the team.

👉 Please get in touch if you can help — every volunteer really does make a difference.

Did you know that when you order your wreath through us, you’re supporting a charity for wounded soldiers?

You might find a wreath cheaper elsewhere, but those few extra pounds go a long way in helping wounded soldiers on their road to recovery and back to everyday life.
We believe this captures the spirit of Remembrance Sunday: honouring not only those who gave their lives, but also those who came home bearing physical or mental scars. We hope you feel the same.

A customised wreath with your logo, image, or message printed in the centre costs £42.60, and you can order yours here:
👉 https://donate.stripe.com/7sYdRa4TU6x92eH8ri7IY01
You can also bring your own wreath if you prefer. No invitation or permission is needed to lay a wreath at the service.Just come along and help us honour the memory of our local heroes in a manner befitting their sacrifice.

We will remember them.
