Who we are

Flags cared for. Community supported.

We are an organisation set up to stop the flags of our country in our town from being destroyed, ripped or torn down.

Our group was created because many people have felt misled by those in power and ignored by government. We are focused on supporting our local community, putting flags up and maintaining them properly.

Flag maintenance

Putting flags up and maintaining them properly.

We believe it is wrong for flags to be taken down or damaged. We will continue to put up and maintain flags across Shrewsbury and the surrounding areas.

Any extra funds available after making sure the flags are properly installed and maintained may be used to support further local good causes.

Our values

Peaceful, democratic and community-focused.

We want to be absolutely clear: we do not support racism, extremism or fascism of any kind. There is no place for that here.

Our stance is not about division, but about change. We believe this country deserves better, and that starts with fresh ideas, accountability and new leadership.

We are calling for real change in the system, including the opportunity for new parties to step forward and represent people properly. This is about giving a voice to those who feel unheard and pushing for a fairer, stronger future for everyone.
