This is a multi- faith event and for those with no faith and the purpose is fourfold: • To remember those residents of Lichfield District who have died from Covid19. • To recognise the role and contribution of public services in Staffordshire during the pandemic. • To recognise the contribution of businesses, voluntary sector, charities, faith and community groups during the pandemic. • To look forward positively to a strong recovery in the post Covid19 period. Representatives from the public sector, businesses, voluntary sector, charitable sector and community groups as well as members of the public who have been bereaved will be present. There is a fixed capacity of 300 for this event and 1m distancing will be in place and you will be asked to wear a face mask throughout the service. Staffordshire Historic Churches Trust Ride and Stride St Nicholas will be taking part in this event to raise money for it and other Historic Churches in Staffordshire on Saturday September 11th from 10am to 6pm.
