Over 500 people gathered at Felixstowe Seafront on Wednesday 21^st June as the sun set over the coast. Following the tradition, the letters of Suffolk Remembers were filled with candles and illuminated along the seafront. 640 candles were dedicated in honour of loved ones by family, friends, and the community with kind donation contributions to the independent charity.

In support of this special event, Bauder sponsored the letter ‘B’ alongside local businesses sponsoring the other letters of Suffolk Remembers. Representatives from Bauder volunteered to fill the letters with candles and carry them across to the dedicated spot.

The event saw live performances from a local brass band, choir, and Ipswich singer, Roma Manteiga-Nicholson. Stories and poems were also shared in dedication to those no longer with us. The evening was accompanied by lovely weather, warm with a pleasant breeze and the gentle sound of waves on the shore.

Bauder is privileged to stand with the St Elizabeth Hospice in this moving event to raise funds to improve life for people living with progressive and life-limiting illnesses.

In the last year, the independent Suffolk charity cared for over 4000 patients and their families by proving support where needed whether at home, in the community or at the hospice. The need for its services is ever growing, with costs of £12.9 million a year to provide its services at no charge to those who need it. Find out how you can support St Elizabeth Hospice.
