Donate in celebration

Gift in celebration

Asking for donations to WRVS instead of presents is a wonderful way for family and friends to mark your special occasion, and help to brighten the lives of older people.

It’s the ideal alternative gift for all kinds of celebrations – birthday, wedding, anniversary or retirement.

You can easily set up your personal celebration page online or call our supporter care team on 0845 607 6524 and we’ll be glad to help.

We’ll thank every person who makes a donation, and after your celebration date, we’ll get in touch to let you know how much was raised.
