The Map

One table.
Thousands of stories.

Keep Their Place started in Belfast. Now we want to see how far the memories travel.

Every pin represents somebody being carried into Christmas from a table somewhere in the world.

A mum remembered from Belfast. A granda remembered from Toronto. A best friend remembered from Sydney. A sister remembered from London.

Different homes. Different traditions. Different stories. The same feeling of carrying someone with you.

Every pin is one person. Every person is somebody's story.

Who are you keeping a place for?

Tell us who you're carrying into Christmas, one thing you remember about them, and where you are keeping their place from this year. With your permission, their memory can become part of the Keep Their Place map.

A place for their story

Keep their place.

A memory doesn't need to be long to matter. One tiny thing they always did. One phrase they always said. One Christmas tradition you still carry with you.

A note about location.

We're asking where you are remembering them from this Christmas — not necessarily where they lived.

The public map only shows your city/town and country.

We also ask for a broad area, neighbourhood, district or postcode prefix so we can position the pin. That more detailed location stays private.

Please never enter a street address or full exact postcode.

Where are you keeping their place this Christmas?
Tell us where you are remembering them from, rather than where they lived.
This stays private. We only use this extra detail to position the pin more accurately. Please give a broad area only — never a street address or full exact postcode.
This memory appears on their map pin. It does not appear on the social share card.
Shown on their map pin only. It is not used on the social share card. Maximum 5 MB.
