Vicky’s story: A ribbon for Dad

For Vicky Amos, Remembering with Ribbons is a way to honour her dad, Ken, who was cared for by Mountbatten Hampshire. “Tying a ribbon in Mountbatten’s garden is not just about the memories of Dad but about the memories we made here, in this place that provided so much comfort and support,” Vicky says.

Ken’s story is a testament to the compassionate care Mountbatten provides—not just for patients but for their families, too.
