Salute Her Task Force Are Fundraising For A Statue Dedicated To UK Women Veterans

Forward Assist, fully support the Salute Her ‘Women Veterans Task Force’ who are raising funds to commission and erect a statue honouring all women veterans especially those that served in the UK Armed Forces since World War Two. The total cost will be in the region of 130K but we must first raise 2K to cover the cost of commissioning a sculptor and potential designs. Women Veterans are a hidden population in the UK and we hope this initiative will go a long way to recognise and celebrate their selfless service, sacrifice and contribution.

'Salute Her' Women Veterans Task Force Campaign For Women Veteran Statue

Team Forward Assist in collaboration with the ‘Salute Her’ Women Veteran Task Force are campaigning for a statue that celebrates and reflects the service, sacrifice of women veterans past and present. (Including all those women from minority groups such as the BAME and LGBT community.)

After receiving a message from a Woman veteran asking why all statues in London only depict men or symbolic representations of of female WW2 Veterans, our Patron Mary Glindon MP wrote to Johnny Mercer MP to see if he would support such a campaign. See his response below:

Disappointing, but the campaign goes on….
