Donate in Memory
There are many ways you can honour someone special:
-
Asking for donations instead of flowers, or organising a collection at a funeral or memorial service, can be a heartfelt way for friends and family to come together and honour a life well lived.
If you’re using a funeral director to help organise a funeral, they may be able to help with the collection and pay in the donations on your behalf. Ask your funeral director about the options and tell them you’d like to raise money for Women at the Well.
If you’d like to organise a collection yourself, you can set up an online donation page to circulate to friends and family
-
A one-time or regular donation in memory can be a simple yet impactful way to remember someone special.
-
Take on a sports challenge or create a personal fundraising event in their honour. Many people find that a physical or creative challenge brings comfort and purpose during a difficult time.
