Celebrate your child's memory
Share happy memories of your wonderful child while raising vital funds.
The pain of losing a child is unimaginable, and no one can take away the grief and loss you feel. But remembering and sharing gorgeous stories about your beloved child can help keep your happy memories alive.
Their funny jokes, favourite games, silly sayings, funny mannerisms, passion for dinosaurs, belting out Frozen, loving hugs – all the big and little things that made them so wonderful.
If supporting Helen & Douglas House in their memory is a way you’d like to remember them, there are many different ways for you, family and friends to do it. Thank you.
Create an Online Memory Box
Every little life leaves happy memories and you can capture them in an online Memory Box – a place where you, your friends and family can come together and remember your gorgeous child in all their brilliance for years to come.
You can post photos, songs and videos, leave messages and share stories. And you can share the link to the Memory Box with friends and family so they can donate and leave messages too, on special occasions, or just when they’re thinking about them
In partnership with MuchLoved, we’re pleased to offer you a free Online Memory Box on our website in memory of your loved one.
Continue their story
Once you have created your Online Memory Box this is a space where you can continue your child’s story. You may want to celebrate their life on their birthday or hold events in their memory. These are all stories you can share in your memory box with your family and friends for many years to come.

Give in memory
As you know, we provide 24-hour medical, emotional and practical support to help local families make the most of the precious time they have left together. You can remember your child and honour their life with a one-off donation to Helen & Douglas House.
Anything you give will make a big difference to the help we can offer children and their families.
Collect in their memory
Organising a collection in memory among friends and family is another opportunity to remember your child.
You might choose to do this at their funeral or celebration of life, by asking for donations instead of flowers. Or you could arrange an event in their memory to raise funds for Helen & Douglas House and help more families in the future.

“An online Memory Box helps me set goals and challenges so I can help raise money for this wonderful place that is filled with so much love. Everyone can read about Molly and the wonderful things the charity does to help everyone who steps through their red door at the hospice. It is a great way to keep your child’s memory alive and in doing so raise money for this little piece of heaven on earth.”
Steve, Molly’s dad
