Commemorating Remembrance Day at The Meadows

Tenants, friends, and family at The Meadows come together to create a memorable tribute for Remembrance Day.

A few months ago, The Meadows set out to create a meaningful Remembrance tribute. We invited our wonderful tenants, families, and visitors to handcraft poppies to bring it to life, and the result is truly something special.

Every poppy in our display has been carefully handmade, led by our incredible ‘Knitting and Natter’ group. We also partnered with a local Men’s Shed, who created the silhouette statue of a soldier, lovingly named Stanley, that now stands proudly at the heart of the display.

The response has been overwhelming. Visitors have been taking photos, sharing stories, and reminiscing about family members who served for our country. It has become a real conversation starter and a beautiful way to bring our community together. We’re also raising money for the Royal British Legion through poppy sales, adding even more meaning to this project.

A huge thank you to all our tenants and our wellbeing team for making this vision a reality, their dedication shines through in every detail. We’re already planning next year’s display, and we hope it will be even bigger and better!
