Give, Donate, Gift,
Celebrate a life

Every donation you make helps transform end of life care across the UK

Your support directly funds essential training and education for health and care professionals, equipping them with the skills and confidence to deliver compassionate, high-quality care at the end of life.

Your gift also enables us to campaign at a national level — advocating for better education, policy, and standards in end-of-life care. Together, we can ensure that everyone receives a Gold Standard of care, when it matters most.

Arranging a funeral collection

Asking for donations at a funeral or memorial service, or setting up an online tribute page, offers a meaningful way to honour a loved one’s memory.

These thoughtful gestures not only celebrate their life and values, but also provide an opportunity to support a cause close to their heart – helping others receive the compassionate end of life care they deserve.

If you’d like to collect donations at a funeral or memorial service, your funeral director can often help arrange this.

Most funeral directors are happy to support donation requests and can include our details in the order of service or set up a collection box. You’re welcome to share our contact information with them – and we’d be glad to assist with anything they need.

Make a donation in their memory

Honour the life and legacy of someone dear to you by making a meaningful contribution in their memory. Whether you choose to give a one-time gift or set up a regular donation, your support can help bring comfort, dignity, and compassionate care to others at the end of life.

Thanks to the generosity of donors like you, we have already raised £6,850. This incredible support is enabling six care homes to participate in our specialist training programme – equipping approximately 300 care staff with the skills and understanding they need to provide truly person-centred end of life care. As a result, over 360 residents will benefit from more compassionate, respectful, and supportive care during their final days.

Your gift, no matter the size, can help continue this vital work and ensure more people receive the care they deserve.

We understand how overwhelming grief can be. Whether you need someone to talk to, practical advice, or emotional guidance, we’re here to help connect you with the right support.

We can signpost you to a wide range of services, from bereavement counselling, helplines and information resources – all accessible from the comfort of your own home.
