The Directors of the British Memorial Garden Trust UK Ltd wish you a Happy New Year and are looking forward with your help to developing the Trusts key initatives in the coming year.
In 2009 after seven years of development and construction, through the efforts and help of volunteers, corporations and individuals, The British Garden at Hanover Square, New York was formally named by the City of New York with HRH Prince Henry of Wales. We are very proud to have been able to help in the raising of funds and awareness in Britain for this very unique and important project.

In 2010 the long term care of the Park will become the U.S. Trust's focus and we hope that you will continue to help us support their efforts.
For the past four years we have undertaken a concert on September 11th in Grosvenor Square in association with the September Concerts Foundation - one of over 200 concerts undertaken around the world that day.
In 2007 we were very honoured when the September Concert Foundation made the Trust the Global Affiliate Partner for Britain. Charged with developing their wonderful message in Brtian this year it is our hope to increase the program of concerts performed in Britain - and also to involve more children in the project – helping them to be a part of the three day initative and to learn through their involvement in the Honouring of the Day.

We are also developing an area of our website that will highlight initatives being undertaken that reflect our mission - which is to help, through living memorials, the healing and strengthening of our soul – uniting the threads of expression and hope.

At Justgiving, you can make a donation to the Garden or make a fundraising page of your own in support, perhaps showcasing a personal fundraising event, or in memory of a loved one.
