News & events News Mountbatten Isle of Wight invites you to remember loved ones with summer ribbon tribute This summer, Mountbatten Isle of Wight invites you to remember loved ones and celebrate Mountbatten nurses and carers by dedicating a ribbon through its annual Remembering with Ribbons campaign. Throughout July and August, Mountbatten's Chelsea Garden will be transformed into a sea of colourful ribbons, each one carrying the memory of someone who is loved and remembered. Alongside remembering those who have died, you can also dedicate a ribbon in thanks to Mountbatten's nurses and carers for the 24/7 compassionate care they provide to families across the Isle of Wight. Dedicate a ribbon online with a donation, and Mountbatten will tie it in the Chelsea Garden on your behalf. If you prefer to place a ribbon yourself, you can collect one from Mountbatten Isle of Wight on Halberry Lane, Newport, from 6 July and visit the garden at any time during the day. A special Remembering with Ribbons celebration will be held at Mountbatten Isle of Wight on Sunday, 19 July, from 2pm to 4pm. You are invited to the peaceful surroundings of Mountbatten’s Chelsea Garden to reflect, remember and celebrate the lives of those you love who have died. Remembering with Ribbons with Mountbatten Isle of Wight: Click here to donate and dedicate a ribbon today For Rob Mew, dedicating a ribbon this summer will be a way of honouring his beloved wife, Tracey. "Because she was being so well cared for, and because she knew she would be safe here, I got to just be her husband again. We could spend precious time together." Funds raised through Remembering with Ribbons will help Mountbatten continue providing 24/7 expert care across the Isle of Wight. Around 85 per cent of that care is delivered in people’s homes, alongside support provided through the charity’s inpatient unit in Newport and outpatient and day services at the John Cheverton Centre on the same site. You are welcome to dedicate a ribbon, regardless of whether you have experienced Mountbatten's care.
