Memorial garden: one year on
Check out our memorial flowers and trees one year on!
The British Red Cross memory garden was officially unveiled on 30 August 2012 - the International Day of the Disappeared - an annual commemoration of people who have gone missing in armed conflicts or other violent situations.
Speaking last year to the Bristol Evening Post, Red Cross Service Manager Liz Abbey said: "The coming together of the British Red Cross with Trinity Community Arts highlights the importance of the Day of the Disappeared. There are thousands of people who are going through the agony and pain of losing contact with loved ones. The day remembers those people and gives the Red Cross the opportunity to let them know we are here to help them."
The memory garden has grown well over the past and includes flowers, a kiwi tree and is a space for people to come and pay tribute to the missing and provide a safe place for people to come and remember loved ones they have lost contact with.
