Give in memory

By setting up a Give in Memory page, it allows you to do something positive in the name of the person you have lost, by contributing to the work of Big C.

All money raised goes towards care and support at the Big C Centres, world class cancer research, funding cancer equipment in your local hospitals and providing interventional and presentational education programmes for the general public and healthcare professionals. 

And now it is easier than ever to start a Give in Memory page and to share with friends and family, whether they live next door or overseas.

How is a memory page set up?

We are partnered with MuchLoved, a special website that gives you the opportunity to create a personalised page online dedicated to your loved one. On your page you’re able to share memories, stories, videos, and photos. It’s a lovely place for family and friends to celebrate their life and come back to year on year.

How do I grow my page?

Visitors to your page can help by making a donation to Big C in memory of your loved one. You can also fundraise on your page. People can run marathons or host events and then share your page with friends and family.

Every penny donated will go towards helping people affected by cancer in Norfolk.

If you would like support in setting up your page, please get in touch.

Organising a funeral collection

Many people choose to set up an online funeral collection page which you can personalise by adding photos and messages. It’s an easy way for friends and family to donate to the funeral online, and an easier way to increase funds by claiming Gift Aid. These pages take the hassle out of collecting money on the day and allow people who can’t attend the funeral to still be involved.

In person funeral collections

For those who are gathering in person, collection packs are available, which we can send to you or the funeral director.  The pack includes a collection box for cash, as well as envelopes for anyone who would like to post a cheque donation. Simply contact us to order your pack on the button below or by calling 01603 619900

“I set up a page in memory of a very special friend, Lyn. During her illness, we both made use of the wonderful support at the Big C Centre – she said that it was somewhere she felt “normal”. 

I knew that I wanted to support Big C in some way and it seemed a perfect way of giving something back. I am donating to a very worthwhile cause – but I’m also giving to Lyn.”
