My dad was an ordinary guy and I had burning desire to have a positive impact in his memory. Critical to the success has been the support from Foundation of Light. What we have achieved makes me smile and I am sure I have made my dad very proud.

There's lots of ways to help. Here's a few ideas....

Set up an in-memory fundraising page

By setting up an online donation page, you will enable friends and family to leave tributes and share stories as well as provide vital support to those who need it most in our communities.

Collect donations on the day

If you're holding a memorial service, you could ask for donations to the Foundation of Light on the day of the service. The easiest way to pay in your fundraising is via our online donation form.

Make a one-off donation

To mark a significant occasion, why not make a one-off or regular donation in memory.

You can make your very kind donation via our online donation form.
