The logo of the Veterans Hub Weymouth and Portland CIC will be recreated by Weymouth Town Council’s gardening team in a floral tribute at Greenhill Gardens in 2027. This annual display is enjoyed by many residents and visitors to Weymouth.
Rachel Gray, Manager and Company Secretary at the Veterans Hub, expressed pride and gratitude for the selection, particularly as it coincides with the organisation's 10th anniversary. She highlighted the Hub's growth from a small weekly drop-in in 2017 to a vital centre for friendship and support within the community. "To see the Hub recognised in such a beautiful setting is a wonderful tribute, not just to what we have achieved, but to every volunteer, supporter and member of our community who has helped make the Hub what it is today," she stated.
The decision was made by the Mayor of Weymouth, Cllr David Harris, alongside the Council’s gardeners and Greenspaces Manager. Cllr Harris noted the strong connection between Weymouth and its Armed Forces community, making the selection of the Veterans Hub particularly fitting. He praised the valuable work the Hub does supporting veterans from its base in Wyke and expressed enthusiasm for the gardeners to recreate the logo with colourful flowers to mark the organisation's tenth anniversary.
“"They do such valuable work supporting veterans from their community base in Wyke, and our gardeners are keen to use an array of colourful flowers to recreate their logo and mark the tenth anniversary since they were set up."
Further information about Greenhill Gardens is available on the Weymouth Town Council website.
