Help us help others
The death of a loved one can be an incredibly difficult time.
We hope some comfort can be found in knowing that they received the very best care from the dedicated staff and volunteers at St Wilfrid's Hospice.
Many families and friends choose to celebrate and honour the life of someone special by supporting St Wilfrid's Hospice. Their generosity helps us continue providing expert care and compassionate support to local patients and their families when it is needed most.
There are many meaningful ways to remember a loved one, including:
• Making a one-off donation
• Requesting funeral donations in lieu of flowers
• Adding a tribute on our Memory Tree
• Ordering personalised Forget-me-not seeds or Memory Hearts
• Taking part in a fundraising event
Whatever you choose, your support will help ensure that future patients and families receive the same outstanding care and support. With so many ways to remember a loved one and support St Wilfrid's Hospice, we are here to help.
If you would like ideas, guidance, or simply someone to talk through the options with, please get in touch.

Donating at funerals
Many families choose to request donations in lieu of flowers as a meaningful way to honour a loved one's memory and support St Wilfrid's Hospice.
There are two simple ways to do this:
- Donation Box: collect donations from friends and family attending the funeral or memorial service.
- Funeral Tribute Fund: create a dedicated online page where loved ones can share memories and make donations in tribute.
