PEOPLE missing through war and conflict situations will be remembered when the British Red Cross plants a memory garden at Trinity Centre Community Gardens.
It comes as the Red Cross marks this year's International Day of the Disappeared on Thursday, August 30 – a United Nations-recognised annual commemoration day for people who have gone missing in armed conflicts or other situations of violence, and whose fate is unresolved.
In Bristol, the charity's International Tracing and Message Service (ITMS) works across borders to reunite family members who have lost contact with each other as a result of war, natural disaster or migration.
Red Cross staff are working with more than 100 people, mainly from the Somali and Afghan communities, who have lost contact with their loved ones.
Liz Abbey, Red Cross ITMS service manager, said: "There are thousands of people who are going through the agony and pain of losing contact with loved ones. The day remembers those people and gives the Red Cross the opportunity to let them know we are here to help them."
The memory garden will be planted in the already established community garden at Trinity Centre, in Trinity Road, on Thursday at 3.30pm.
