Halton and St Helens VCA joined communities across both boroughs on Remembrance Sunday to honour those who have served and sacrificed in conflicts past and present.
Representing the voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) sector, Sally Yeoman MBE, Chief Executive of Halton and St Helens VCA, laid a wreath at the Remembrance Sunday service in St Helens.
In Halton, Laura Bevan also laid a wreath on behalf of the sector, ensuring that the contribution and commitment of local voluntary and community organisations were represented at services across both boroughs.
Remembrance Sunday provides an important opportunity for communities to come together, reflect and pay tribute to the courage and sacrifice of members of our Armed Forces, past and present.
It is also a time to remember the families and communities affected by conflict, and to reflect on the importance of peace, unity, solidarity and understanding.
The voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise sector plays a significant role in bringing people together, supporting communities and strengthening the connections that make our towns and neighbourhoods special. Being represented at these services was an opportunity to recognise that contribution while joining residents and partners in paying their respects.
Halton and St Helens VCA would like to thank everyone involved in organising the Remembrance Sunday services and all those who came together to remember.
We will remember them. 🌹
