Remembrance Day at Westfield Farm
Thursday 12 November 2026
On Wednesday 11 November 2026, colleagues hosted a Remembrance Day event at Westfield Farm Community Resource and Training Centre in Dormanstown.
The farm team and volunteers held a two minute silence at 11am and veteran Frankie Kenyon laid a wreath in the memorial garden.
Beyond Housing holds the Ministry of Defence Employer Recognition Scheme (ERS) Gold Award for its active and longstanding commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant and some veterans and volunteers from the organisation’s working group attended in uniform.
A Beyond Housing customer who regularly attends the farm’s Men’s Pie Club, a community initiative that partners with Beyond Housing to combat male loneliness and social isolation through informal cooking and conversation, wrote a poem, which was read out at the event.
Residents from the surrounding area were also invited to attend.
Our Employability Manager, Emma Grimes said:
“It was very moving to mark this year’s remembrance day with a two minute silence and wreath laying in Westfield Farm’s newly completed memorial garden.
The work put into creating the garden by our colleagues and volunteers has definitely been worthwhile.”
