Grow your Fund

Seeing a Tribute Fund grow can give such a sense of achievement and be a powerful, positive way to honour the life of someone special.  From making cash donations online to running a marathon, there are so many ways to grow a Tribute Fund - just let your imagination go.


Whether you're holding a birthday party and asking for donations to your Tribute Fund rather than presents, cycling from London to Paris, or organising your own event, you can set up a fundraising page to raise money for an existing online Tribute Fund.


The site is also interactive, so you can write a journal and upload photos, for example, while your family and friends can leave messages of support.

How to set up your fundraising page 

Visit your Tribute Fund page and click on the ‘Start Fundraising' button on the bottom right hand side of the page. You can then select from a range of activities (for example sponsored event or anniversary), and simply click on the activity ‘create' button to get started. 

Once you are registered you can access the page whenever you wish to make updates. How to donate to your Tribute Fund You, your family and friends can support your Tribute Fund in a number of ways even when you're not actively fundraising via events or other initiatives. 

Cash gifts 

You can make an online cash donation to your Fund at any time. Simply click on the yellow box on the right hand side of your Tribute page labelled 'Make a donation'. 

Tribute Fund candles 

You might also like to light an online candle in memory of your loved one on special dates and anniversaries. 

A £10 donation will light a single candle and allow you to leave a message, enabling friends and family to join together in commemoration. 

Regular gifts by Direct Debit 

Regular gifts are of vital importance to the Meningitis Trust, enabling us to plan, implement and grow projects, safe in the knowledge that our funding is secure. You can set up a Direct Debit online here or you can call the Meningitis Trust on 01453 768000 to set it up over the phone.

Lola Kay Tribute Fund - An example of Fundraising for a Tribute Fund
                                   
Walkers gather in Chatburn ready for the off

Charlotte Duckworth and Steven Kay walked for eight miles in memory of their daughter, Lola Kay, who died of ecoli meningitis and septicaemia on 15 April 2008 aged only 8 days old.  Over 70 of their family and friends joined them in the walk around their home town of Chatburn in Lancashire, many of whom were in fancy dress.


Charlotte and Steven said: "It was a great tribute to our little girl.  This is our first event in memory of our little princess; we feel that it is so important for us to keep Lola's memory alive and to help others affected by meningitis."


To raise money for the walk and to involve their friends and family, Charlotte and Steven set up a fundraising page that linked directly to their daughter's online Tribute Fund. Visit the Lola Kay Tribute Fund using the 'Find a Tribute Fund' search facility to see their fundraising page and all the options available on it.
