Our aim is to erect a memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum to remember our fellow brothers and sisters, lost to suicide after they have finished their service for their country.

This has been a turbulent time for everyone in the UK and the toll of isolation on the mental health of many has been heavy. There are many for whom previous military service has left mental scars which have been exacerbated by the lockdown. These people need and deserve our help. Those who have fallen to their illnesses should and will be remembered.

It is our hope that our efforts will raise further awareness of the struggle of veterans suffering from mental health issues and encourage more to seek help.

In addition, the memorial statue will hopefully provide a place for contemplation and gathering for those affected by the loss of a friend or loved one through suicide.

With your support and generosity, we hope to raise the funds required for this memorial.
