A gift in memory - supporting UCLH Charity

Honouring the life of someone special can be a powerful way to celebrate their memory. By making a gift in memory to UCLH Charity, you help support the exceptional care, compassion and innovation provided across UCLH. Your donation ensures that other patients and families continue to receive the very best support during some of life’s most difficult moments. 

How your gift makes a difference

Every in-memory donation helps UCLH Charity fund initiatives that go beyond what the NHS alone can provide. These include:

  • Enhancing patient experience through improved environments and facilities
  • Supporting staff wellbeing, specialist training and education
  • Advancing life-changing research and new treatments, including specialist cancer and haematology services
  • Providing state‑of‑the‑art equipment that enables teams to deliver world‑leading care

Your generosity helps continue this impactful work in honour of your loved one.

Ways to give in memory

There are several meaningful ways to celebrate someone’s life while supporting UCLH:

1. Create an online fundraising page

Many families choose to set up a fundraising page where people can donate in memory directly to the charity. You can create a page through JustGiving page here.

2. Create an online tribute page

Tribute pages are online memorials where you can remember and celebrate someone special, while raising funds to support UCLH Charity. Honouring a loved one in this way helps fund exceptional care, research, staff support and state‑of‑the‑art equipment across UCLH.

Your tribute page is hosted on MuchLoved, where you can personalise the page with stories, photos and memories. Friends and family can share messages of support, light virtual candles, and dedicate donations in your loved one’s memory.

3. Collect donations at a funeral or memorial service.

If you’re organising a service, UCLH Charity can provide donation envelopes or collection tins to make it easy for friends and family to contribute. To request materials, email fundraising@uclhcharity.org.uk. 

4. Make a donation in their name

A direct gift in memory is a simple and heartfelt way to acknowledge someone special. Donations can be made online, by post, or via a fundraising page.
