Tribute Funds can help you to celebrate the life of a loved one and to keep their memory alive whilst making a real and lasting difference to children at Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital.

What is a Tribute Fund?

A Tribute Fund helps to provide a focus for events like birthdays, anniversaries and Christmas, which can bring back many painful as well as precious memories.

There are many different ways to contribute towards your Tribute Funds. Family and friends may wish to make a one-off donation or you may wish to make ongoing donations to mark birthdays and other special dates. You could choose to take part in one of the many events organised by the Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity or you could organise your own event in memory of your loved one. All the money you raise is allocated to your named Tribute Fund.

Online Tributes

You can also operate your Tribute Fund online, enabling friends to add messages or share memories and photographs of your loved one.  We work in partnership with Much Loved to provide this special way to cherish the memory of a loved one.  Setting up a fund on the Much Loved website is completely free of charge and will be hosted for free for ten years.
