Giving in memory
Remember a loved one by giving a gift in their memory to help conserve and protect local wildlife and wild places.
Giving a gift in memory
Traditionally we pay our respects with floral tributes and while cut flowers don't last very long, wildflowers can last for generations.
A donation in memory of a loved one can help to protect bluebells in local woodlands; wildflowers and butterflies in our meadows; or lapwings and otters in wetlands across our three counties. By giving a gift in memory, you are directly supporting the conservation of local nature reserves and wildlife, keeping places special for future generations.
Ways to give in memory
There are a number of ways to honour the memory of someone special with the Wildlife Trust BCN, including:
Donate in memory of your loved one
Give a gift in memory of a loved one and help to achieve our vision of an enriched natural environment; providing homes for local wildlife and places where people can reflect and enjoy our special wild places.
Donations in lieu of flowers
If you choose to ask people for donations in lieu of flowers at a funeral, you can ask your Funeral Director to arrange this. The Funeral Director will then send the donations on to us. Please feel free to put them in touch with our In Memory team inmemory@wildlifebcn.org if that would help you.
Collections
If you chose to collect donations yourself, you could send them directly to us.
To send a gift by post, please send your cheque, made payable to the Wildlife Trust BCN, along with a completed In memory giving donation form, and include your name and address as well as details of the person you are remembering to: The Wildlife Trust BCN, FREEPOST RITKE-REZU-YRLZ, The Manor House, Broad Street, Great Cambourne, Cambridge CB23 6BR (you do not need to use a stamp).
Celebrate your loved one
A leaf on our celebration tree is a wonderful way to create a long-lasting memory of a special event or to honour an important person in your life, whilst also supporting nature across our three counties.
Set up an online memorial page
Creating an online memorial page will allow you to create your own special tribute to your loved one, where you can collect fundraising donations in their name and share memories, thoughts and stories with family and friends.
