FAQs

What is the tag on the bracelet for?

That's the tag that brought you here! It's important for us to get the word out there about helpful support resources and educate people on terrorism prevention. There is also a number on your tag - this is what number your bracelet is! Each number represents one day between now and when the attack happened, and this day could have been a victim's birthday, a previous anniversary, a day of progress in the healing journey of a survivor - wear your number with pride! (That being said, we do encourage you to remove the tag for a more comfortable experience. If you choose not to keep the tag, please recycle it.)

How do I care for my bracelet?

Make sure to take the bracelet off while showering to avoid damage, and be careful when putting it on or removing it. If your bracelet does snap, we encourage you to save the beads and restring the bracelet using any thread or elastic. If you don't want to or can't fix it, please leave the beads at any Manchester Attack memorial (if possible). If you no longer want your bracelet, please pass it on to a loved one, trade it at a concert or donate it to a charity shop - please keep the memory going.

Why did you choose bracelets?

Bracelet trading is an evergrowing staple in concert culture, and with music at the heart of what happened in Manchester, we wanted to reflect that sense of community in this project - to bring people together and unite through music and concerts.

What does the phrase on my bracelet mean?

The bracelets were all inspired by things close to the attack, or things that the victims loved, from the colours to the phrases on the bracelets. Popular ones include TPWK (Treat People With Kindness, a Harry Styles trademark), Fearless (a Taylor Swift or Louis Tomlinson song, both artists loved dearly by some of the victims) and One Love (the name of the benefit concert held after the attack). If you're unsure what your bracelet means, please reach out to us by email or on any social media, and we'll help as much as we can. Please be assured that after a vigorous screening process we have only included bracelets with positive and uplifting messages.
