Giving in Memory
The generous donations we receive in memory help us provide care and compassion to people in our community facing life-limiting illnesses, and offer comfort and support to those left behind.
In 2025 we received £55,000 ‘In Memory’ donations, which would contribute to the cost of our Day Hospice Clinical Services for a 4 whole months. Donations given in memory help to ensure that individuals and families in North East Worcestershire can access our support and care, free of charge, when they need it the most.
Whether it’s donating a funeral collection or placing a leaf on our Memory Tree, here are just some of the special ways that you can remember your loved one.
Funeral Collections
When someone we love dies, supporting a charity is a meaningful way to commemorate them. To guide you every step of the way, we have put together some resources, including personalised
collection boxes and pre-printed collection envelopes. We can also help you create a digital tribute page and liaise with your funeral director if required.
If you have any questions please call 01527 889 796 and ask to speak to our dedicated In Memory Fundraiser.
Create a Digital Tribute Page
An online tribute page offers a digital space where you can remember and celebrate a life. It’s a place where family and friends can visit to share memories, stories and photos, whether they live close or far way. Funeral arrangements can also be shared easily and donations can be collected electronically.
A digital tribute page is a fitting way to ensure that your loved one’s memory lives on.
You can create your Tribute Page here or call 01527 889 796 for help.
Fundraising in Memory
“In time, grieving can become giving. Giving to others is one route back into your joy and back into your light. This is so important when you’ve been in a dark place.”
Taking on a challenge or organising a fundraising event in memory of a loved one is a positive way to celebrate their life. Whether you would like to organise a sponsored event, take on a sports challenge, or organise a cake sale, we can help you along the way.
You could take part in our annual Primrose Memory Walk, please visit our memory walk page here for more details or call 01527 889 796 for help.
We also have many different challenge activities running throughout the year that you may want to take part in, please visit our challenge page here for more details or call 01527 889 796 for help.
Memory Tree
Celebrate the life of a loved one with a beautiful lasting tribute. The Memory Tree is positioned in our peaceful garden, bathed in natural light and surrounded by birdsong. It is a place to
celebrate life, a permanent symbol of a life loved.
For a suggested contribution of £100 you can place an inscribed leaf on the Memory Tree, whether your loved one received care from Primrose Hospice or not. You can let your leaf grow on the tree for as long as you wish and you can visit the Memory Tree to reflect and remember any time you wish, with the added comfort that your donation enables us to support our patients and their families.
Lights Of Love
Lights of Love is for anyone that has felt the grief of bereavement. All can remember and all can be remembered, young or old, local or further afield, and even if they or you were not cared for by Primrose Hospice.
Dedicate a light and see it shine bright.
Every dedication is proudly displayed between November and January around our spectacular Christmas Trees in Bromsgrove and Redditch.
Each tribute also appears on our beautiful digital tribute page, where messages and photographs can be added.
In addition we also post out a Lights of Love card, personalised with your loved ones’ names, for you to display and keep at home and we host several special events which everyone is welcome to attend.

Our Primrose Hospice Family Support Centre is here for you and your family to support you if you are bereaved. We offer a range of one to one sessions and group support for all ages.
Our friendly Family Support team will provide you with support and advice for all your family to deal with difficult situations or decisions.
You can find out more about how we can support you here.
Primrose Hospice & Family Support Centre is an independent charity, we receive only 14.6% of our required running costs from the NHS, so as an independent charity, we rely on the support of individuals and businesses to help us to raise the £1.95 million needed each year for us to provide our services free.
