Leaving a gift in memory
Giving in memory is a special way to remember a loved one whilst making a valuable contribution to George Eliot Hospital.
You can pay tribute to the memory of someone special in several ways. You could donate, hold a collection at a funeral or memorial service, set up an online tribute page, collect donations to mark a special date, such as a birthday, or even take part in an event or challenge in their name.
It can be difficult to know how to pay respects to a loved one, but a meaningful and lasting way is by asking friends and family to donate to our charity.
Donations in lieu of flowers at the funeral
A donation in lieu of flowers is a simple and effective way for family and friends to donate in memory of a loved one. If you wish to do this, please speak to the funeral director. They will be able to offer you advice and will pass all donations received onto George Eliot Hospital.
Ask for donations at a funeral or memorial service
Most funeral directors can supply collection boxes to collect donations at a funeral or memorial event. We can also supply them if you get in touch.
Family and friends can also donate by cash or cheque. Please make cheques payable to George Eliot Hospital Charity and clearly state on the back which department that you would like your donation to go towards.

Leaving a gift in a will
Leaving a gift in your Will is a very special way of supporting George Eliot Hospital Charity.
Some people choose to leave a gift in their Will to say ‘thank you’ for the care that they’ve received from our doctors and nurses. For others, it’s simply a way to ensure that their friends, family and neighbours will have access to world-class healthcare, should the time come for them to need it.
Whatever your reason for supporting George Eliot Hospital, by including a gift in your Will, you’ll be making patients’ lives better when they need it most. You will be making patients’ lives better by improving the facilities and therefore enhancing the environment of patients and staff.
