In memory
giving
Make a gift in memory of someone special and support local people in their name.
In memory giving
Giving in memory is a meaningful way to honour someone’s life.
Many people choose to make a donation, or invite friends and family to do the same, as a way of continuing the care and kindness their loved one showed during their lifetime.
A gift made in someone’s name can help support local families, young people and community groups across County Durham and Tees Valley.
Why people choose in memory giving
People often tell us they want to:
-
celebrate the life and values of someone they loved
-
support a place or cause that mattered to them
-
give family and friends a way to remember together
-
create something positive at a difficult time
Your gift becomes part of their story, one that continues to help others.
How it works
Giving in memory is simple, and you can choose whatever feels right for you.
You can:
-
make a one-off donation in someone’s name
-
invite friends and family to donate
-
create a Named Fund in someone’s name
