Ben & Cath
In 2022, Ben and Cath went through the unimaginable and lost their little boy Arlo. Faced with a grief that no parent should have to experience, they received support from Saint Mary’s Hospital’s specialist bereavement service. Thanks to expert staff and facilities funded by our Charity, Ben and Cath were able to create special memories with Arlo in a safe and supportive environment.
Since the launch of Saint Mary’s Hospital’s Bereavement Service in 2013, it has supported over 1,000 families in Manchester.
Setting up an online tribute page is easy to set up and is a lasting way to remember your loved one and raise funds for one of our family of 10 NHS hospitals. Create your online tribute here Forever in Our Hearts Tribute Funds.
You can support a specific hospital by including the hospital name in the title section when you create your tribute fund. If you choose not to select an individual hospital, your fundraising will be assigned to our general fund, supporting priorities across our family of NHS hospitals.
Most online fundraising sites do charge a small transaction fee; however this will be a small percentage of the money you have raised. We do ask that if you have any offline fundraising to pay in, you send it directly to the charity team and not pay it in via your online page to avoid any fees.
For online donations, we suggest you consider a Forever in our Hearts Tribute Fund as this will make it quick and simple for friends and family to support your fundraising. Create your online tribute here Forever in Our Hearts Tribute Funds
