Give in memory
Donating or fundraising in memory can be a positive and meaningful way to celebrate and remember someone you love. This lasting tribute beautifully turns your treasured memories into moments of happiness, joy and hope for others when they are needed most.
Below, you’ll see the ways you could choose to remember your loved one – in a way that suits you best. That might be naming a star in their honour; with a donation or a fundraising page you, your family & friends can add to over time. You can choose how to best pay tribute.
We are here to support you, so if you’d prefer to talk or have any specific questions, please do get in touch by emailing [email protected] or calling us on 01276 40 50 60.
Thank you for considering making a donation in memory of someone special to you, and for helping to create moments and memories families will always hold close, whatever the future may bring.
Starry Night
Starry Night in-memory sky is a special place to remember and celebrate someone special to you, with a star dedicated just to them. By making a donation or creating a collection page, you can add their star to the night sky where it will sit alongside others in a beautiful constellation. Each one representing treasured moments, a memory, and a connection that continues. Together, these stars shine on as a reminder of the love that endures.
Funeral Collection
If you are holding a memorial service for your loved one, you may choose to collect donations to Make-A-Wish UK on the day of the service. Often, you can set up an online collection with your funeral director. If you are collecting cash donations, please see below how to pay in your fundraising.
Monthly or Anniversary Giving
Regular monthly remembrance giving in honour of your loved one can be a special way to celebrate their life, while helping create unforgettable experiences for children across the UK. If you’d prefer to set up an annual donation instead, to remember a birthday or anniversary, select direct debit on the form below and an annual option will become available.
By giving in honour of someone special, their memory lives on in the wishes being granted now and in the future. Bringing moments of joy, comfort and magic to critically ill children and their families across the UK. Your donation, whether it’s in loving memory or in celebration of someone special, will help to reach children who are still waiting for their wish, creating memories that families can hold onto and cherish, whatever the future may bring.
