Giving in memory

Thank you for visiting our giving in memory page and for considering making a special gift to us.

Sadly, if you are visiting this page it is likely to be because you have lost a special someone and we would like to express our sincere sympathy at this difficult time.  Losing someone that you love is a painful experience, filled with many emotions and we understand that it is an extremely personal experience.  At Heartburn Cancer UK we hope that we can offer you several ways that you can honour and remember your loved one. By recording lasting memories, we hope this will provide a small comfort and a place to reflect.  We can help you to achieve this by creating a Tribute page, starting a Funeral collection, making a dedication or a one-off donation.

If you would like any advice or support on giving in memory or would just like to talk to someone about making your gift, please contact Jess on 01256 338668 or by email to [email protected]

Thank you for visiting our giving in memory page and for considering making a special gift to us.

Tribute Funds

Creating a tribute fund in memory of someone special is one way to make a lasting memorial that can both celebrate a life and help to keep your loved ones memory alive.  It gives you, the fund holder, and those who you share the page with the opportunity to upload photos, music and stories.

Many people find donating to a relevant cause brings comfort to family and friends, along with the knowledge that contributions will be used to help others in a similar position.

Your tribute fund will be personal to you and the memory of your loved one, meaning that you will choose how and when it is added to.  All donations will serve as a lasting tribute as well as continuing to help us change the future for those suffering with persistent heartburn symptoms or diagnosed with Barrett's oesophagus and oesophageal cancer.

Candles burning

How do tribute funds work?

Once your fund has been created it can be added to at any time.  Traditionally, people invite donations in memory of their loved one at a funeral service or a celebration of their life, but as the fund is a long-standing tribute it can be used to celebrate special occasions such as birthdays, anniversaries or other family events.  There is no limit as to how little or often you can add to your fund, it is yours to use as you wish.

If you would like to set up a tribute fund in memory of a loved one  click here and you will be directed to the site of our partner, MuchLoved. 

Funeral Notice and Collections

We understand that planning a funeral is a difficult time.  We hope the funeral notice service offered by our partner, MuchLoved, may alleviate some of that stress. The notices are typically included when the page is set up by your appointed funeral director, but they can also be added by the tribute owner. Perhaps, instead of flowers, you would like a donation pot or, if preferred, we can provide donation collection envelopes for your service.

Please get in touch with Jess on [email protected] with any requests.

One-off or regular donation

If you would like to make a donation in memory, either as a one-off gift or on a regular basis, please visit - Donate - Donate | Heartburn Cancer UK

Leaving a dedication 

We have created a dedication page, which we hope will become a place where those who have lost loved ones can take a moment to reflect and share memories.  There is a simple process which enables you to share a message or a story or to celebrate your loved one’s life, together with a photo if you wish.  This will be a lasting page where your dedication will remain.

If you would like to you can make a donation when making your dedication.  We are committed to changing the future so that fewer families lose loved ones to oesophageal cancer and all donations will be used to directly support our work.

If you have any questions, help or support, please call Jess on 01256 338668 or drop her an email on [email protected].

Many thanks
