About Us

The Memorial Gates Council is a not for profit organisation which plans, coordinates and hosts an annual commemoration for the men and women who volunteered to serve with the British Armed Forces during the First and Second World Wars. The Council was established to continue the work of the former Memorial Gates Trust.

The former Memorial Gates Trust was a registered charity  whose charitable objects were "To establish and maintain in perpetuity for the benefit of the public a memorial in the form of decorative gates to those inhabitants of the Indian sub-continent, the continent of Africa and the Caribbean who served in the Armed Forces of the Crown, whether by land, sea or in the air, during the World Wars 1914-18 and 1939-45". With its objectives achieved through the dedication of its trustees led by Baroness Flather, the Trust's registration with the Charity Commission was closed on 20 April 2009 and it ceases to exist.
