Annual remembrance service

Remembering everyone affected by a road crash

Behind every statistic is a person, a family and a story that deserves to be remembered.

St George's Church, 118 Barker's Butts Lane, Coventry CV6 1EA

Each year we come together to remember those who have lost their lives or been seriously injured on our roads, and to support everyone whose life has been affected by a road traffic collision. We also pay our respects to the emergency services and everyone involved with road crashes.

This is a free, short service and gathering, open to anyone, especially those affected by a road crash, whether recently or many years ago. Refreshments are served afterwards.
