Ribbon Remembrance

Perhaps your library, doctor’s surgery, hospital or workplace would be happy to host a remembrance wall/tree and display for BLAW during 9th – 15th October.  Or use your own windows at home, download the ribbon template, print and cut out the ribbons and use them to decorate your display
