About the memorial: Manchester City Council's memorial to the Arena Bombing of 22 July 2017, under construction from 24 March 2021, opened 10 May 2022. A garden centred on a white stone 'halo' which will bear the names of the 22 killed, each of whom has a personalised memory capsule filled by their loved ones set within the stone, located on a triangle of land between Manchester Cathedral and Chetham's School of Music. This memorial would fall outside of WMT's definition of a war memorial, rather a 'commemorative object of terrorist act'. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manchester Walk

As a conservation charity which gives grants War Memorials Trust can support repair and conservation works that follow best conservation practice. Grants are awarded from funds raised by the charity so money available is limited and is therefore focused on eligible war memorials.

War Memorials Trust’s Definition of a war memorial for funding purposes helpsheet explains which war memorials are eligible and ineligible for funding.

As a charity, War Memorials Trust relies on voluntary donations and every contribution, no matter how large or small, makes a really big difference to our work. Your donation will help protect and conserve war memorials for future generations so please support War Memorials Trust’s work.
