Donate: Donate in memory

Remember a loved one by making a donation in their memory, or by setting up a Memorial Fund in their name. These valuable gifts help us continue our work.

In Memoriam Donations

In Memoriam donations are donations given instead of flowers at funerals. Many people direct in their Wills that they would rather have a collection made at their funeral in favour of a particular charity.

Flowers at Davenham We can send you special envelopes for collecting individual In Memoriam donations. These envelopes have a Gift Aid declaration which allows us to reclaim the tax on your gift.

For further information about In Memoriam donations, please telephone Vivienne Clarke on 020 7730 8263 or email legacies @fote.org.uk

Snowdrop Memorial Funds

A unique way of remembering a loved one is to set up a Snowdrop Memorial Fund in their name, stating Friends of the Elderly as the beneficiary. Friends and relatives can make donations to the Fund or can carry out fundraising activities which contribute to the fund.

Your tribute will be honoured by Friends of the Elderly with an entry in our special Snowdrop Remembrance Book and by the annual planting of snowdrops in the Memorial Garden of one of our care homes.

The money raised will help Friends of the Elderly continue its work of looking after older, vulnerable people.

For further information about setting up a Snowdrop Memorial Fund, please telephone Vivienne Clarke on 0207 730 8263 or email legacies@fote.org.uk.

If you are a UK taxpayer and sign the Gift Aid declaration included with our In Memoriam envelopes, or sign and return a separate Gift Aid form to us, Friends of the Elderly can reclaim at least an extra 25% of the value of your donation from HM Revenue & Customs.
