Celebrate the life of someone special
Donating in memory is a very special way to celebrate the life of someone special while supporting the hospice. Your donations mean that we can continue to provide our services free of charge to people in our local community.
Here are some of the ways you can support us:
Donate in memory
Charity donations can also be made direct by phone or by post. Please see our donation page for details.
If would like to arrange for donations to the hospice in lieu of flowers, please talk with your funeral director in the first instance. We can provide special donation envelopes for the service.
Celebration tree
You can sponsor a decorative leaf on our stunning celebration tree, which is located in the hospice reception area. This beautiful piece of art is made of a hand-carved oak trunk and branches with gold, silver and bronze leaves.
Your leaf can be engraved with the name of someone special or a message of thanks and support. You can choose to sponsor the leaf for one, two or three years. At the end of this time, you can renew the leaf, or have it returned to you as a treasured keepsake.
Download the form to sponsor a leaf.
Memories
You can dedicate a star in memory of a loved one – a unique way to pay tribute to a family member or close friend. Find out more on the Memories website.
Tribute funds
A tribute fund provides a positive way to honour the life of a loved one. It is often set up initially for funeral donations (in lieu of flowers) but you can also make ongoing donations – perhaps to mark special occasions, such as birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas.
Once set up, family, friends and colleagues can share their messages and memories, and donate to your tribute safely and securely online. Setting up an online memorial is easy and free of charge. You can create your personalised page via Much Loved (our partner’s site).
