Give in memory

Celebrate your loved one’s life by leaving a gift.

If you’re thinking of making a donation, thank you. These special gifts speak of your love for the person they commemorate. It can be comforting to know that each donation given in their memory will help your loved one live on through our ground breaking research.

Whether it’s arranging donations in lieu of flowers, or setting up an online tribute fund in their memory we’re here to help. We can work with you or your funeral director to ensure everything is carried out according to your wishes.

Davina and MarkLosing someone is one of the hardest things you ever have to face. I lost my stepfather, Mark, quite unexpectedly and suddenly to cancer – it leaves you with a gaping hole in your life.

I don’t think you ever get over the loss, you just learn to somehow continue living your life without that person there – and do what you can, where you can, to honour their memory in some way.

For me, working for World Cancer Research Fund is something positive that I do every day and I believe the work we do would have meant a lot to my stepfather. You can’t change what’s happened, but we all hope that what we do now might make a difference to someone else some day.

– Davina

Create an online tribute fund

Sharing happy memories, stories and photos of someone is a lovely way to keep their memory alive. Online tribute funds are a meaningful way of doing this, providing a private space where your family and friends can share memories of your loved one and collect donations in their name.

World Cancer Research Fund, along with our partner Love2Donate, are pleased to be able to offer you the opportunity to start an online tribute fund so that you can leave a tribute, expressing your feelings to give comfort and support to all those affected by the loss of your loved one.

To start your own tribute fund, download and complete our form (also available as a pdf). When you return this to us, we’ll ensure your special page is set up.

You can visit your tribute fund at any time to see the lovely messages left.

The information on this form will be shared with Love2Donate in order to provide its service, and we will delete our copy of the data in line with our retention policy.

Our privacy notice can be found here and Love2Donate’s privacy notice can be found here.
