Donate in Memory

If you have lost a loved one, a donation to us can help you create a lasting tribute to their memory by contributing to Hope Against Cancer’s research and the local effort to overcome cancer.

The money we raise goes towards ensuring that Leicestershire and Rutland remain a centre of excellence for cancer research. By leaving a gift in your Will, you can rest assured that you will be making a significant contribution to our local research, supporting our local clinical trials and helping local people with cancer.

There are lots of different ways to donate in memory of a loved one:

Collect at a Funeral

Your funeral director will usually be able to help you by collecting and forwarding donations, or you can send them directly to our head office at the address below.

Ask for donations in lieu of flowers

You can ask friends or relatives to send donations directly to us in your loved one’s name. If you contact us to let us know that you will be collecting for us, we will acknowledge all donations sent in memory of your friend or relative.

Donate online

Make a one-off donation or you can go to the donation setup page to establish a regular ongoing donation schedule. Your contribution plays a crucial role in making a difference in the lives of those in need.
