Giving in memory
Often when someone dies, their family and friends like to pay tribute to their lives by doing something to benefit future patients and their families.
There are lots of ways in which you can support Myton in memory and we are here if you need any ideas or advice.

Make a donation in memory...
You can make a one-off donation or regular donation to Myton in recognition of the care and support your loved one received.
You could also set up an online donation page so that friends and family can donate quickly and easily.
Single donation Regular donation
Forever Loved Tributes...
Setting up a Forever Loved Tribute is a special way to remember and celebrate the life of your loved one whilst having a lasting impact on The Myton Hospices and helping us to make a difference to the lives of our patients and their families through any donations gifted in your loved one’s memory.
Once your tribute to your loved one is set up, you will be able to share this with family and friends, who will be able to add any special memories, upload photos, videos and songs, leave poems or messages of remembrance and light virtual candles to mark special dates or anniversaries.
It only takes a few moments to create a tribute to your loved one but once in place, your tribute will remain open forever as a meaningful way to honour their memory and help Myton’s patients and their families now and in the future.
Memory Wall...
Share precious memories of your loved one on our memory wall. If you wish, you can add a photo and share it to your social media profile.
In memory plaques...
A plaque is a chance to leave a physical tribute to your loved one in our gardens. Throughout the year our gardens provide a place of peace and reflection for our patients and their families, making them the perfect place to remember the people we love.
In return for a donation a plaque can be positioned in your chosen Myton Hospice or sent out to you for use in your own garden or home.
Organise a funeral collection...
Some families choose to ask for a donation to be made to Myton instead of buying flowers for a funeral. This is a simple and effective way of supporting the hospice and helping future patients.

Leave a gift in your Will...
Did you know that 1 in 4 of our patients are cared for thanks to money donated to us in a Will. You don’t have to be wealthy to make a real difference to people’s lives, just 1% of your estate will help us care for local people when they need us the most.
Take part in an event...
We have events throughout the year with many people choosing to take part and raise money in memory of a loved one.
As well as fundraising events we hold annual Light up a Life services at each of our three hospices. They are led by our chaplaincy team and offer family and friends the opportunity to dedicate a light on our Christmas trees.
The difference YOU make
Our services would not exist without our generous supporters. It is thanks to your bravery, commitment and passion that we are able to continue caring for and supporting every patient and loved one who needs us.
