Give in memory
Remember and celebrate the life of a loved one while helping others with myositis
About giving in memory
You can give in memory of a loved one who has passed to remember and celebrate their life while helping those affected by myositis. This is also known as in-memoriam giving.
Some people choose to do this by simply giving a donation in the name of the person they have lost. Others might prefer to pay tribute by making a charitable donation instead of flowers.
Funeral directors will be able to make the necessary arrangements to receive donations and forward them on to Myositis UK.
Memoriam donation form
We have a special memoriam donation form designed for those who wish to give in memory.
This form has been produced to include all the necessary information needed to maximise donations, such as Gift Aid, with the understanding that those filling it out may be doing so at a distressful time.
This form also has a small description of myositis and the work of the Myositis UK.
Please contact us for a memoriam donation form and let us know whether you would prefer us to send you a printed version in the post or an electronic version via email.
Memoriam donation page
A personalised memoriam donation page through either JustGiving or Virgin Money Giving can also be created as a tribute to receive online donations.
Using these platforms means people can donate easily and securely using either a credit or debit card, or with Paypal.
