Coming together in remembrance 🕊️🤝

Following the moving ceremony at Shepherd's Bush War Memorial on Remembrance Sunday, we were warmly welcomed to the Centre Suite at Westfield London — a lovely space to gather, share stories, and reflect together after the service.

It was such a privilege to spend time with the Deputy Mayor Daryl Brown (H&F), Councillor Adrian Pascu-Tulbure, Vanessa from the Burma Star Association, Pablo Blackwood (Community Leader, Consultant and Deputy Lieutenant of RBKC), James Clarke (H&F Cadets Leader), veterans, faith leaders, emergency services representatives, fellow community organisers, and so many dedicated people who came together on the day.

A special thank you to the H&F Events Team — Emma and Jess — for all your hard work in making the day run so smoothly. 💐

Moments like these remind us: remembrance isn't just about looking back — it's about coming forward, together, as one community.

We will remember them. ❤️

Moments from Remembrance Sunday 🕊️

A few more quiet, powerful moments from today at Shepherd's Bush War Memorial — including the poignant "There But Not There" silhouette.
👉 Swipe to see Tommy standing beside the memorial, a six-foot outline symbolising the 1.1 million British and Empire service men and women who never came home from the First World War — present in our thoughts, but absent in body.

The memorial itself was unveiled in 1922, honouring the men of our borough who fell in both World Wars. Every poppy, every wreath, every salute — a promise we keep.

We will remember them. ❤️

Did You Know? 🖤

Caroline Pappoe, founder of Global Action for Autism, established the organisation in 2016 after drawing on her own lived experience of supporting her daughter and recognising the challenges faced by autistic young people and their families.

Determined to tackle social isolation, exclusion and the lack of accessible opportunities, Caroline created an organisation dedicated to helping autistic people identify their strengths, develop new skills and build confidence. Through a skills-based approach, Global Action for Autism provides opportunities for young people and their families to participate in meaningful activities that are co-designed with them, ensuring their voices, interests and aspirations are at the heart of the organisation's work.

Caroline's leadership demonstrates the power of lived experience in shaping inclusive and responsive community support. By placing young people and their families at the centre of decision-making, she continues to create opportunities for greater participation, independence and belonging across our communities.

✨ As part of our Black History Month series, we're celebrating local changemakers whose vision, dedication and leadership are making a lasting difference in Hammersmith & Fulham.
