Remembering With Ribbons Event Returning To Mountbatten

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.

People leaving donations will receive a special ribbon pack to personalise their dedication.

“We are delighted to bring back Remembering with Ribbons this summer,” said Mountbatten CEO Nigel Hartley.

“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.”

A launch event open to anyone will be held at Mountbatten on Friday 1 July at 4pm.

Music, drinks and canapes and support from Mountbatten’s bereavement team will be available.

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.

The event has been supported by Isle of Wight Distribution.
