Remembrance Day – We Want to Hear Your Stories

At The Carer, we consider it a great privilege to publish and share the meaningful ways care homes across the UK commemorate Remembrance Day.

As we approach this year’s commemorations, communities throughout the country will gather to honour those who served. Remembrance Sunday falls on 9th November, followed by Armistice Day on Tuesday, 11th November, when the nation will fall silent at 11am.

These occasions give us the opportunity to remember the service and sacrifice of those who defended our freedoms – the Armed Forces and their families from Britain and the Commonwealth, the emergency services, and all who lost their lives through conflict or terrorism.

Last year, we were honoured to share your 2024 commemorations with our readers across print, digital and online platforms, and the response was deeply moving.

We would love to feature your 2025 Remembrance commemorations.

We warmly invite you to send us your stories, photographs, activities and tributes – whether you’re holding special services, displaying memory boards, sharing residents’ personal wartime experiences, or marking the occasion in other meaningful ways.

Please send your contributions to: editor@thecareruk.com

Help us honour the memory of those who served by sharing how your home remembers.
