Donations in lieu of flowers.

Is the choice of many families. It is a fitting way for people to be remembered.

We accept donations, on behalf of the family, for all charities - preferably cheques (which should be made payable to the charity) but we will accept cash if handed in personally, please enclose a note saying which funeral the donation relates to and your name and address (not necessary if completing gift aid).

What is Gift Aid?

Gift aid enables you to increase the value of your donation in lieu of flowers. Provided that you are a U.K. Taxpayer and have paid tax equal to the amount of tax to be reclaimed on your donation, the charity can reclaim from H.M. Revenue and Customs (HMRC), the basic rate tax paid on your gift, boosting the donation by 28% - a gift of £10 from a donor is worth £12.80 to the charity. All you need to do is download the form here, complete it and return with your donation to:
