Tribute funds
Fundraising in memory is a wonderful way to raise funds for Garden House Hospice Care while bringing everyone together to remember your loved one. Tell us about your tribute fund today and we'll help you get started.
A tribute fund is a dedicated space online to raise money in honour of someone you love. It is set up via JustGiving and 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?
This year, it costs £17,676 every day to provide our specialist care free of charge to more than 2,000 people in North Hertfordshire and the surrounding villages every year. The NHS contributes around 40% of this total, so every penny you raise makes a difference to the people who need our care. To give you an idea of how your fundraising could help or if you wish to set a target:
- £202 could cover two visits to a patient’s home by our Community team
- £552 could fund 12 hours of care on our Inpatient Unit, for one patient
- £4,450 could pay for 10 full days of activities from our Rehab and Wellbeing team
- £17,676 is how much it costs every day to run our services.
How do I set up my tribute fund?

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.”
