Tribute funds
Online tribute funds are a wonderful way to remember someone special.
Starting a tribute fund in memory of a loved one is like your own mini website, dedicated to them. It is an increasingly popular way to honour and cherish their memory.
Your tribute fund can help you to express, keep and display valuable personal memories and thoughts about your loved one. This may be through words, pictures, music, and video.
You will be able to:
- Use your fund to enable family and friends to send their thoughts and you can invite them to contribute as well, maybe by adding a lovely picture you’ve never seen or a special story you’ve never heard.
- Use your page to pass on information about the death, funeral, anniversaries or other important occasions for your family and friends.
- Record and keep your own private bereavement diary and listen to your own personal music play list.
- Keep access to your page totally private to just you and selected family and friends, or choose to allow public access. The privacy of your site is completely handed over to you.
- Use your site to collect and display donations to St Wilfrid’s Hospice in memory of your loved one. Develop and keep a beautiful lasting record and legacy for your family and future generations.

"We urge everyone to set up a tribute page"
Chris Wyatt’s family set up a tribute fund in his memory in 2019, after he was looked after by the Hospice at Home team. His daughter Natalie said the care her dad received was outstanding, and the family wanted to show their gratitude through a tribute fund. It has so far raised more than £34,000. Natalie said: "The Tribute Fund is a brilliant platform to raise money in memory of dad. Each year, we add new events, such as the memorial rides and charity golf days, and it is the perfect place to keep track of donations and messages of support. Friends and family members also use it to post photos and stories, or to light a candle in his memory. We urge everyone who has lost a loved one to create a tribute page, whether you choose to use it for fundraising, or just simply to remember."
Bereavement
Bereavement and the pain of loss are natural human experiences which everyone approaches in their own way. If you have recently been bereaved your first and most important sources of support are likely to be your family and friends. If the person who has died was a patient at the hospice we may be able to offer you additional support during your bereavement. We offer a variety of different kinds of support, such as one-to-one counselling or groups and events.
