One way to celebrate the life of a loved one is to ask family and friends to make a donation at their funeral service. Often people choose to make a donation to St Gemma’s Hospice in lieu of flowers.
If you are a family member or funeral director making funeral arrangements, there are many ways you can arrange donations to St Gemma’s:
• Personalised collection box – get in touch with The Individual Giving Team at individual.giving@st-gemma.co.uk or 0113 218 5505 who will arrange this for you, usually for you to collect from the Hospice
• Donation envelopes – we can send you envelopes to hand out at the funeral, these include a Gift Aid declaration so your guests can add 25% value to their donation, at no extra cost to them
• Share our in-memory donation link and ask those donating to include your loved one’s name. We will keep track of the total donated and be able to share the total donated with the next of kin (we will never share names of people who have donated). The link to donate is: www.st-gemma.co.uk/in-memory-donation
• Set up a Facebook fundraiser in their memory, which you can easily shared with your Facebook friends. Create your fundraiser at www.facebook.com/fund/st.g.hospice
