Casting of the Hope Bell, March 23 2023

We have produced a video from the casting of the Hope Bell event that took place on Thursday, March 16, 2023 at John Taylor & Co in Loughborough, the last major bell foundry in the UK. The Hope Bell will mark the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on Charnwood communities, remember those lost in the pandemic and pay tribute to the NHS and key workers while being a beacon of hope for the future and a reminder of how communities came together to support each other in challenging times.
