Forever Loved Tribute Fund

Remember your loved one, and celebrate what made them so special.

Sometimes, when you least expect it, a memory of your loved one comes back to you. It could be the TV show they loved, the holiday you all enjoyed together or maybe their favourite song will play on the radio.

Setting up an online tribute fund gives you the chance to share those precious memories with others and raise money at the same time. The fund is easy to set up and you can invite those who share your memories to pay their own tributes while helping to raise money from wherever they are in the world.

There’s plenty of space to share stories, photos, videos and even the music they loved. It’s a chance to celebrate and remember a loved one, whilst helping St Richard’s continue its free, specialist care of thousands of patients and their families in Worcestershire each year.

Here are some of our most frequently asked questions below

  • What is a Tribute Fund?

    • We can now accept small amounts of donations (max. two bags or boxes) at this shop during opening hours, until the space is full. We recommend calling the shop on 01684 294679 before making your donation, to check there is still space to accept items.

    • Please ensure bags and boxes are of a manageable size, and weigh no more than 8kg.
    • To avoid damage, please make sure fragile items are wrapped and not loose.
    • If you gift aid goods, please get labels from the shop and attach to your donations.

    Alternatively, you can take good quality, re-saleable items to one of our other stores. Times, days and donation amounts vary depending on the size of the shop and number of volunteers available. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and generosity.

    The quality of our care depends on the quality of your donations. For advice on what we can and can’t accept, see our Quality Donation Guide.

    Thank you for your generosity and support of our care hospice.

  • How do I set up a Tribute Fund?

    • It’s easy to set up a tribute fund, all you need is a valid email address. When setting up the fund, you enter the name of the person you are remembering, a photograph of them (if you have one) and a message for display on the fund web page. You can change any of these details at a later date. Your fund will have a unique link which you can share with family and friends.
