Remember a loved one

Remembering a loved one with a gift

When you choose to make a memorial donation or create a tribute in memory of someone dear to you, you're transforming loss into hope for families who need our support today. Every donation in memory helps us maintain the specialist services that provide a vital lifeline for people living with spina bifida and hydrocephalus.

There are several ways you can honour your loved one's memory:

Donation in Memory: Make a one-time gift or set up regular giving to remember your loved one while supporting our essential work. Each memorial donation directly funds our advice services, family support programmes, and vital research initiatives.

Funeral Collections: Arrange for donations to be collected at funeral services, giving friends and family a meaningful way to pay their respects while supporting a cause that would have mattered to your loved one.

Legacy Giving: Consider including Shine in your will to create a lasting impact. Legacy gifts help secure our future and ensure we can continue supporting families for generations to come.

 

Memory Star Pages

Our personalised Memory Stars platform offers a beautiful, lasting way to celebrate someone's life.

Set up a dedicated Memory Stars page where you can:

  • Share cherished memories and photographs
  • Add favourite music or videos
  • Light virtual candles in remembrance
  • Invite family and friends to contribute their own memories
  • Dedicate donations in their memory
  • Keep your loved one's memory alive for years to come

Each Memory Stars page is completely free to create and simple to manage, giving you a peaceful space to remember while helping others.

Every contribution made through your Shine Stars page can be dedicated to your loved one's memory, creating a meaningful connection between their life and the support we provide to families today.

Search for an existing Memory Star: If you've already created a tribute page, you can find it using the search function below. Simply enter your loved one's name to access their page, add new memories, or invite others to contribute.

Book of Remembrance

Our Book of Remembrance provides a permanent record where your loved one's name will be respectfully preserved alongside others who are remembered with love. This lasting tribute ensures their memory remains part of the Shine community forever.
