When someone we love dies, we may find ourselves completely overcome with a range of emotions and decisions we have to make. Our thoughts often turn to the wishes they had and how we can ensure these wishes are respected.
In memory gifts are not only a wonderful way to celebrate a life, but they are also an incredibly thoughtful way to support the work of MS Trust and those affected by MS.
There a lots of ways to donate in memory:
- Make a donation in memory of a loved one
- Set up an online tribute page
- Arrange a funeral collection
- Fundraise in memory
When you make a donation in memory to MS Trust, you're making a donation in honour of your loved one that will help us be there for every person living with MS.
To make a donation by phone or bank transfer, please call us on 01462 536007. You can also donate by post. Please make cheques payable to MS Trust and post to MS Trust, Spirella Building, Bridge Road, Letchworth Garden City, SG6 4ET.
An online tribute page is a wonderful way to celebrate the life of someone special. As well as donations, you can add personal words, pictures, music, and videos to the page. You can then share your page with family and friends from all over the world, who can add pictures and treasured memories with no obligation to make a donation.
You may decide to use your tribute page to raise money in memory of a loved one to help support our work. People can donate to your tribute page instead of flowers at a funeral or instead of presents at a family occasion.
Our tribute pages are hosted by our friends at MuchLoved. Setting up a tribute page is easy and free of charge. Simply visit MuchLoved and follow the on-screen instructions.
We know this can be a very difficult time, and we are here to help. Please call a member of the fundraising team on 01462 536007 if you have any questions or need help setting up your page.
Many funeral directors will oversee this for you, so it is important to let them know that you have chosen to support MS Trust. Should you need any help, please contact a member of our fundraising team.
If you are a funeral director, or next of kin who has arranged the funeral collection, you can donate the proceeds through the following methods.
If you are making a personal donation and you are a UK tax payer, you may be able to Gift Aid your donation. We can reclaim the income tax at no extra cost to you (25p for every £1).
If you would like more information about donating to the MS Trust in memory of a loved one, please contact us on fundraising@mstrust.org.uk or call 01462 536007.
Fundraising in memory is an incredibly special way to honour someone close to you. There are lots of ways you can fundraise for MS Trust, and we'll be there to support you every step of the way.
