Giving in memory

Giving in memory of a loved one or friend is a very personal way of remembering them - and supporting Mind

Giving in memory is a special way for you to honour the memory of a loved one, friend, family member or colleague, and allows friends and family to come together to support Mind's work.

Memory space

A place to remember, a way to make a difference. Memory space is Mind’s new tribute website, where people who have lost a loved one can share stories and photographs while raising funds. It's easy and free to set up. All the money raised will go to Mind and help us make sure that everyone with a mental health problem has somewhere to turn

Donating online

If you would like to remember someone by making an online donation or regular gift in memory, please donate here.

Collecting at funerals

Simply collecting donations instead of flowers at a funeral can help Mind to continue to provide vital support for everyone affected by mental health problems. 

Most funeral directors are willing to collect donations in lieu of flowers, handling the administration of these gifts for you and making sure they are passed to Mind.

Mind can provide free donation envelopes for you to include in the order of service or to pass on to family and friends at a later date.

Each envelope includes a donation form which can be detached and enclosed, so that the envelopes can be returned when it is convenient.

Please contact us if you would like receive envelopes.

Gift Aid it

If you are a UK taxpayer, you can make your donation to Mind worth 25 per cent more. Just fill in your details on the return slip and Mind can reclaim tax from the Inland Revenue on all gifts made in the first four years and until further notice.

Holding an event in memory of a loved one

Many of our supporters choose to celebrate a loved one's life by holding an event or taking part in a challenge to honour their memory.

Having a pub quiz, cake sale, or cycling, running or swimming in aid of Mind are just some of the ways people have chosen to remember someone special, while raising vital funds for Mind.

Do contact us for help and support if you are thinking of holding an event or taking on a challenge in memory of someone special.

We can support you

Information on grief

Mind publishes information on grief and bereavement, which may be of help to you or someone you know who has been affected by the loss of someone dear.

Mind's bereavement information is available for free on our website. We also offer personalised information by email and phone, through the Mind infoline which is a free and confidential service.

Support at work

We often hear from people who would like to remember a colleague. Some wish to organise a collection, whilst others contact Mind for practical help, such as mental health training.

Please contact us for more information.
