Road, North Cave, Sheffield to mark Covid-19 Day of Reflection Newport East Riding of Yorkshire HU15 2NU A memorial event to mark the third annual day of reflection to remember those who lost their lives to Covid-19 is due to take place on Sunday 8th March. The event will take place in two stages, starting in Sheffield Town Hall at 12 noon and then moving to Balm Green Gardens for a short remembrance service at 4pm at the Covid memorial willow tree. Both parts of the memorial event are free, and everyone is invited to attend and to participate as well if they wish. The Town Hall session will focus on compassion and is for anyone affected by the loss of a loved one. It will provide
a reflective space, and an opportunity for those in attendance to express their tributes to them. Those who want to participate in creating a message for the Covid memorial willow tree can collect a small piece of fabric and marker pen in the session to create a message, of just one word or more if they want to, that celebrates a person that they have lost or someone that helped them through the pandemic. Writing prompts will be available and there will be stewards on hand to assist with accessibility needs, seating, or quiet areas. Compassionate Sheffield representatives will be there too
for anyone who wants to talk about a loved one or about how they can be part of Compassionate Sheffield’s work. People can go into the Town Hall at any time between 12 noon and 3pm. The Town Hall will then close at 3pm and the focus of the day will move to Balm Green Gardens at 4pm. Those who have made a message will be able attach it to the steel willow tree, which symbolises how people worked together to create the strength that was needed at such a difficult time. The willow tree was made in Sheffield to provide an opportunity for people to come together at any time to remember
those who were lost to Covid and everyone who was affected by it. It honours the tireless work and acts of kindness shown during this unprecedented time. “Whilst a willow tree has a strong trunk which symbolises how people worked together to create the strength that was needed at such a difficult time, it is also a flexible and resilient tree, whilst also being delicate. When a storm hits, the tree bends with it. Its long branches sweep all the way to the ground and when it rains the droplets fall all the way down the branches like tears to the ground. When you stand underneath a willow tree you feel embraced and
protected. It’s a very special, significant piece of art, made in Sheffield for the people of Sheffield.” George King, architect of the willow tree memorial sculpture This year’s annual day of reflection has been coordinated by Sheffield City Council in collaboration with Compassionate Sheffield.
