I've raised £2000 to To pay for a bespoke voltive (candle holder) for Southwark Cathedral for those 51 people who died on the marchioness river boat disaster.
Organised by Chris Howard
On 20th August 1989 the Marchioness river boat was involved in a collision resulting in the death of 51 people.
Every year we commemorate this at Southwark Cathedral. However, i thought it would be nice if we matked the 30th anniversary with a bespoke ‘voltive’ (a church candle holder) with exactly 51 candle holders.
Southwark Cathedral have given their support to this.
