Wirral charity Autism Together is inviting the public to join its Remembrance Day service this November, in the heart of historic Bromborough Pool Village.
Autism Together has organised the service to commemorate members of the armed forces who died in the line of duty.
The event will take place outside the village’s former church building on York Street. The Grade-II listed St Matthew’s Church building was closed for worship in 2007 and is now used to provide music sessions for autistic adults accessing the charity’s services.
The service, which is free for the public to attend, will be led by Autism Together staff members Steve Davis, who previously served in the armed forces, and Dean Ravera. Steve and Dean are Service Managers for Autism Together, based in Bromborough Pool Village.
The event will take place on Tuesday, 11 November, starting promptly at 10.45am, outside the church entrance, in front of the village’s war memorial which Autism Together refurbished last year.
At 11am there will be a two-minute silence, followed by a rendition of ‘The Last Post’.
Richard Whitby, CEO of Autism Together, said, “We’re delighted to invite the Wirral public to join us for a special service on Poppy Day, where we’ll honour the courage and sacrifice of our armed forces.
“The people we support will also be getting involved, crafting handmade poppies to decorate the area where our service will be held.
“We do hope to see many of you on November 11th, as we come together in remembrance.”
Autism Together has a free car park within the village, located next door to its Bromborough Pool Café & Shop, at The Green, CH62 4TT. The Café also has toilet facilities and refreshments for sale.
The Remembrance Service is the first in a series of upcoming events for Autism Together, including the return of its popular autism-friendly grotto experience and a carol service, coming to Bromborough Pool Village this December.
Further details about these events will be released via Autism Together’s website autismtogether.co.uk.
