BECOME A GUARDIAN

The British Normandy Memorial exists not only to remember the 22,541 men and women who died during D-Day and the Battle of Normandy, but to ensure their stories continue to educate and inspire future generations.

Through our School Guardian programme, schools can make a meaningful commitment to remembrance.

We invite schools to consider an annual donation of £150 or more. This supports:

  • The long-term care of the Memorial
  • The continued development of the Winston Churchill Centre for Education
  • Ongoing research through the Roll of Honour
  • Opportunities for young people to engage directly with the legacy of 1944

Schools may choose to link their commitment to a specific individual named on the Memorial — perhaps someone from their local area or with a meaningful connection to the school community.

Many schools fund their Guardian commitment through student-led fundraising activities, assemblies or remembrance projects — turning giving into further learning.

In recognition, your school will:

  • Be acknowledged as a School Guardian
  • Receive a digital certificate
  • Join a network of schools committed to keeping memory alive

Becoming a School Guardian allows pupils not only to learn about history — but to help safeguard it.
