Tribute funds
Raise money with others in memory of a loved one. Tell us about your tribute fund today and we'll help you get started.
Fundraising in memory is a wonderful way to raise funds for Garden House Hospice Care while bringing everyone together to remember your loved one. A tribute fund is a dedicated space online to raise money in their honour. It is set up via JustGiving and it allows you to track all the money you have raised. Friends, family or colleagues can set up individual pages and link them to your tribute fund, so they can all see how their efforts are helping. You can use it to collect funeral donations, for people taking part in events or those organising their own fundraising activities. It can even show money donated offline. No matter how the money is being raised, it can all contribute to your tribute fund.
Take a look at our existing tribute funds on JustGiving.
What support will I receive with my tribute fund?
- Regular updates on your fundraising total and how your support is making a difference
- Dedicated support with your fundraising from our knowledgeable team, who can sign you up to events or help you create and deliver your own fundraising ideas.
How will my tribute fund help the Hospice?
We need to raise £10,542 every day to pay for the care we provide free of charge to more than 2,000 people in North Hertfordshire and the surrounding villages every year. Every penny you raise really does make a difference to the people who need our care today, but to give you an idea of how your fundraising could help or if you wish to set a target:
- £228 could cover three visits to a patient’s home by our community teams
- £537 could fund 24 hours of care for one patient on our Inpatient Unit
- £4,510 could pay for five full days of activities from our Rehab and Wellbeing team
- £10,542 is how much we need to fundraise every day to provide our services for free.
How do I set up my tribute fund?
Fill out our short form and we'll send you instructions with how to complete your tribute fund. Once both steps are complete, we will be in touch to help you get the most out of your fundraising in memory of your loved one.
Kerry's story
Kerry set up a tribute fund in memory of her late Mum, Barbara:
"We used the tribute fund for funeral donations and also for family members taking part in a Hospice event. It is so lovely to see how much has been raised for the Hospice in total and it’s been a special way to remember Mum. I know she would love to see everyone raising money together for a cause she loved.”
