Fundraising in memory is a really special way to remember the life and values of a loved one, while helping people to leave homelessness behind for good. You can continue to make a difference in their name by holding a collection, asking for donations in lieu of flowers or leaving a dedication on our memory wall.
Our memory wall is a space to capture stories and memories of your loved one and what Crisis meant to them. Perhaps they were a long term supporter, volunteer, or homelessness was a cause close to their heart.
This is a shared space where anyone can add memories and photos of their loved ones. We hope you find comfort in this space and enjoy reading the stories of people dedicated to ending homelessness.
Setting up a tribute page for your loved one can help to create an online place of remembrance. You can personalise the page and share with friends and family so they can leave messages, memories and photos, as well as donate to Crisis.
We recommend using MuchLoved for your tribute page. It's simple to set up and stays open indefinitely, so you can return to it and find comfort in the stories and memories of your loved one.
