Why it matters

A memorial that outlasts flowers

Flowers last a week. A memory lasts a lifetime. A gift in memory that restores someone's sight, or completes their cancer treatment, or feeds a family through a crisis — that is a tribute with weight.

Many families now ask for donations in lieu of flowers. When that request comes with "to any charity", our virtual gifts give you the option to say precisely what the donation did: one cataract removed, one patient who can now see.

Every gift comes with a printable certificate — a keepsake you can include with a card, or keep in a memory box. At checkout, you can write a personal message honouring the person you're remembering.

Questions about memorial gifts

What is a gift in memory?

A gift in memory is a charitable donation made to honour the life of someone who has passed away. Instead of flowers or a conventional donation, you fund a specific life-saving intervention in their name.

How do I give a gift in memory of someone?

Choose a gift from our shop, add it to your cart, and at checkout include a personal message honouring the person you're remembering. A printable gift certificate is included.

Can I give a memorial gift instead of flowers?

Many people choose a charity gift in memory as an alternative to flowers — particularly when the family has requested 'donations in lieu of flowers'. Our gifts are specific and verifiable, with a printable certificate as a keepsake.

Can Gift Aid be added to a memorial donation?

Yes, if you are a UK taxpayer. Adding Gift Aid means World Aid Network can claim an additional 25% from HMRC on your donation — at no extra cost to you.
