A memorial to remember all who died in service and their families.
Our Aim
We are running a competition to design a fitting monument which commemorates the sacrifice of all those who have died whilst in the submarine service and their families. It will be a place to visit for private and collective acts of remembrance and reflection, and we need your help to design it.
The National Memorial Arboretum
The memorial is planned to be located at the National Memorial Arboretum, the UK’s year-round centre of Remembrance. The Arboretum is a place which helps people to reflect and to be inspired, a place where they can celebrate lives lived and a place to commemorate lives lost in service.
There are over 380 memorials spread across 150-acres of landscaped woodlands and gardens. The Arboretum’s Remembrance Centre features a suite of visitor amenities and the nearby Millennium Chapel of Peace and Forgiveness is the only place in the country where the Act of Remembrance is observed daily at 11 am.
Target £375,000
Appeal Merchandise
We are delighted to announce the launch of an exclusive range of merchandise designed by Ensign Motifs. Of course the profit from each sale goes to the appeal so you can look good and feel good at the same time!
“Of all the branches of men in the forces there is none which shows more devotion and faces grimmer perils than the submariner.”
