Remembered
Remembered is a dynamic new charity with three main aims: Commemorate. Educate. Heal. Remembered will inspire a series of individual projects. The first is a UK-wide installation, "There But Not There" in time for the Centenary commemoration of the end of the First World War in 2018. The installation will create a tangible project which aims to commemorate those who lost their lives and fought in this war, and to educate the young about the past and the sacrifices made by these men. In addition, by raising substantial funds it will be helping to heal Veterans still suffering physically, as well as those with the hidden wounds of mental health issues associated with their time in Service. At the time of the Great War it was called shell shock. It is now more appropriately known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. We aim to install our silhouettes wherever there is a roll of honour and place life-size representation of our Tommy figure in many public places for the Armistice Period 2018. We hope to educate all generations about why they made the ultimate sacrifice and, through the sale of our Tommies and Silhouettes, raise substantial funds for our beneficiary charities. The charities we support include: Combat Stress – treating Veterans suffering from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) Depression and Anxiety Help for Heroes: – Supporting those affected by their time in the Armed Forces and their loved ones, to help them reach their potential and live fulfilling lives Project Equinox: Housing Veterans and Medical Students – Plymouth University project to create sheltered housing for 40 single veterans The Royal Foundation: Heads Together – Changing the national conversation on mental health and wellbeing Walking With The Wounded – Supporting our wounded into work The Tommys and their commemorative packaging are made by the Royal British Legion Industries and, appropriately, by ex-Service Veterans employed by RBLI.
