Tributes

Celebrate your loved one’s life with a tribute

Tribute websites are free to create and you, friends and family can add photos, music, videos or stories to share special memories and celebrate your loved one’s life – like an online memory box. At a time when family and friends may not be able to attend a funeral or memorial service due to coronavirus restrictions, a tribute is a touching way to share memories. Tributes also show the total amount raised for Winston’s Wish in your loved one’s name, so that everyone who has contributed can see what they have achieved. Any money raised will create a lasting legacy of life-changing impact for bereaved children and their families who have also lost someone close to them.

What can I do with a tribute?

On a tribute website you can:

• Add stories or upload photos, videos and music
• Create a funeral notice
• Make a single, occasional or regular donation in memory of someone you love
• Make a regular monthly donation or at a special time of year
• Create events and fundraise
• Link to other fundraising pages (e.g. JustGiving)
• See any money raised in your loved one’s memory in one place.

How does my tribute support bereaved children?

Any money raised through your tribute will help Winston’s Wish to provide bereaved children, families and professionals with a range of practical support services and guidance.

Our expert teams offer one off and ongoing advice, guidance and bereavement support to children, young people, their families and those who care for them. We also provide online resources, specialist publications and training for professionals.

Winston’s Wish gave Matthew and the girls such wonderful support after her death that I want to do all I can to help other families who find themselves in the same position we were in. Setting up this tribute fund for Gemma is a wonderful way of remembering her and, just as importantly, enables us to give back to an organisation which was invaluable in helping the whole family since Gemma’s death.

Winston’s Wish supported Gemma’s husband, Matthew, and their two young daughters Neve and Erin after his wife Gemma died of cancer. Gemma’s sister set up a Tribute in her memory.
