Greasbrough Remembers 2026: A Community United in Remembrance

Greasbrough Remembers 2026 brought the local community together on Sunday 8th November for a moving Remembrance Sunday event, honouring the brave men and women who served and sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

Proudly supported by KCM Waste Management, the event once again demonstrated the incredible community spirit of Greasbrough and the wider Rotherham area, bringing together residents, local businesses, veterans and families to pay their respects.

As we mark Armistice Day on 11th November, we reflect on the importance of remembrance, the success of this year’s event and the generosity of everyone who helped make it possible.

A Special Remembrance Sunday in Greasbrough

Remembrance Sunday is an opportunity for communities across the country to come together, reflect on the sacrifices made by our Armed Forces and honour those who gave their lives in service.

Greasbrough Remembers 2026 continued this important tradition on Sunday 8th November, bringing together veterans, families, local businesses and residents from across Rotherham and South Yorkshire.

The event was brought to life through the dedication of its organisers, including Scott Brunt of Spartan Site Solutions, alongside the support of KCM Waste Management, Help 4 Homeless Veterans and the wider community.

GB News presenter Patrick Christys also attended the commemorations, helping bring further attention to the event and its charitable cause.

Following almost 2,000 attendees in 2025, Greasbrough Remembers continues to demonstrate the incredible community spirit and respect shown towards our Armed Forces.

Their courage. Our freedom. We will remember them.

Local Businesses Supporting Greasbrough Remembers 2026

One of the most inspiring aspects of Greasbrough Remembers 2026 was the support received from businesses and individuals across Rotherham and South Yorkshire.

In the lead-up to Remembrance Sunday, local businesses were invited to sponsor a commemorative poppy for £100, helping support the event and its charitable fundraising efforts.

Each sponsorship included a personalised poppy displaying the sponsor’s name, proudly featured as part of the commemorations.

The initiative provided businesses with a meaningful opportunity to demonstrate their respect for our Armed Forces while supporting a cause that makes a genuine difference.

We would like to say a heartfelt thank you to every business, organisation and individual who sponsored a poppy.

Your generosity and willingness to support the local community helped make this year’s event possible.

Supporting Help 4 Homeless Veterans

We were particularly pleased to welcome representatives of Help 4 Homeless Veterans to the event, including founder Tom Wood and CEO Steve Bentham-Bates.

Their dedication to supporting former service personnel is a powerful reminder that remembrance extends beyond one day of the year. While we honour those who made the ultimate sacrifice, we must also recognise and support veterans who continue to face challenges after their service.

Through Greasbrough Remembers 2026, we were proud to help raise awareness of the charity’s vital work and encourage the local community to stand behind those who have served our country.

Including the fundraising Patrick did with GB News, the charity have now raised well over £700,000!

Every contribution, regardless of size, reflects the compassion and generosity of the people who came together to support this year’s event.

Thank You to GB News and Everyone Who Supported the Fundraising

We would like to extend a special thank you to GB News presenter Patrick Christys and everyone involved in supporting the fundraising efforts surrounding Greasbrough Remembers 2026.

Patrick’s attendance and involvement helped bring additional attention to the commemorations and the important work carried out by Help 4 Homeless Veterans.

Alongside the contributions made through poppy sponsorships and community donations, this generosity demonstrates the difference that can be made when people come together with a shared purpose.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who donated, shared the fundraising appeal, sponsored a poppy or helped spread the word.

Our specially painted Remembrance RORO skip, featuring a Union Jack design, a portrait of Winston Churchill and the words Lest We Forget, is another visible tribute to those who served.
