This Christmas, we invite you to pay tribute to your loved ones with a personal dedication on our virtual Tree of Remembrance.

Your message will also be lovingly handwritten on a card and displayed on the Christmas Trees in our branch windows - a beautiful way to honour their memory during the festive season.

Today, we celebrate the volunteers who quietly lift communities, support grieving families and show up when it truly counts.

From those who help at local charities to the volunteers within the Rowland Brothers Foundation, your time and kindness change lives in ways that often go unseen.

Thank you for the heart you bring into the world.

Today, we pause to remember the lives cut short by HIV and AIDS, and to stand with every family who has carried that loss.

World AIDS Day reminds us how far we’ve come, yet how many people still face stigma, grief and silence.

We hold space for every story, every name and every memory that lives on in the people who loved them.

New Mats, Same Heart 💚

We’re proud to support the bowls club at Purley Sports Club by donating new bowling mats to replace the ones that had seen their fair share of ends.

This isn’t just about sport. It’s about people. About friendships formed over tea and roll-ups. About showing up, week after week, rain or shine. That’s what clubs like this are built on and that’s exactly why we wanted to help.

The players put their heart into the game, so it felt right to give something back. Here’s to more matches, more laughs, and more time spent doing what you love.

Thanks for having us along for the ride. We’ll be cheering you on from the sidelines.

There’s beauty in every wrinkle, every memory, every year lived boldly.

This past month, we celebrated lives well-lived, without apology.

No one should ever feel they need to shrink with age or fade quietly. Your story matters, right to the very last chapter.

Love leaves a legacy.

This Pride Month, we stand beside the LGBTQ+ community, remembering those we've lost, celebrating lives lived with truth, courage and colour.

Grief knows no labels. Neither does compassion.
We’re here for every family, every story, every love.

Happy belated birthday to our 6th generation family member and group commercial director, Joe Rowland! Hope you have a great birthday trip abroad!

Fun fact: Did you know Joe was actually a national swimmer when he was younger, placing 3rd in the country and holding multiple swimming records in London!

Some things in life can’t be fixed, but many can be prevented.

Men’s Health Week is a powerful reminder that checking in on your health isn’t weakness. It’s responsibility.

We see the impact of loss far too often. And while not every goodbye can be avoided, early detection and treatment can change outcomes for men and boys.

If you’re putting off that appointment, don’t.

Talk. Test. Take action. It might just save your life.

What an incredible day at Woodcote Park Golf Club! We're thrilled to share that our sister company Rowland Brothers Charity Golf Day raised an amazing £22,500 for the Rowland Brothers Foundation! 🙌💚

A huge thank you to the 138 golfers who joined us — your energy, generosity, and good humour made it a day to remember. From the raffle and auction to the mini competitions out on the course, every moment helped contribute to this fantastic total.

We’re so proud to support the vital work of the Rowland Brothers Foundation, helping families in need through bereavement support and community care. To learn more about how these funds will make a difference, visit: rowlandbrothersfoundation.co.uk

This event is only getting bigger and better every year, and we can’t wait to take part again in 2026!

Honouring a Legacy: Memorial Renovation for Lord Baden-Powell

We were truly honoured to recently carry out the renovation of the memorial for Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the Scouts movement in England - a man whose legacy has inspired generations of young people around the world.

Our specialist memorial team took great care to restore this important tribute through a multi-stage process:
🔹 The memorial was carefully raised and levelled to ensure stability and prominence.
🔹 It was then professionally cleaned to restore its original dignity and clarity.
🔹 The existing inscription was reinscribed to bring it back to life with renewed sharpness and legibility.
🔹 Finally, we added a new inscription, thoughtfully crafted to reflect his enduring legacy.

Preserving this piece of history was a true privilege. At JB Shakespeare, we believe in honouring those who have shaped the world, and Lord Baden-Powell’s contribution is one that continues to guide and inspire.
