Donate in memory

We understand that, for some people, the need to remember someone in a long-lasting way is important. Many people choose to remember a loved one they have lost by leaving a gift in memory to VSO.

Type of gifts

Some people often decide to make a funeral collection in memory, instead of flowers. Some decide to mark a special anniversary or a birthday in memory of a loved one with a collection for VSO.

Suggesting amounts

A collection might ask for a suggested amount for people to donate, which is helpful, as often people find it difficult to know how much they should give. It currently costs VSO £5.20 a day to keep a volunteer living and working in country, so you could suggest amounts to donors of £5.20 for a day or £25 for almost a working week.

Passing your gift on to VSO

You can collect donations yourself and send them in as a lump sum by post or you can donate online.
