Donate in memory

Gift in memory of a love one Celebrate the life of your loved one with a gift to WRVS.

Many people choose to support WRVS with a gift to honour the memory of a friend or loved one. At times of deep sadness, it really can help to take positive action. Making a gift to a good cause as a tribute is one of the most positive steps you can make.

WRVS is grateful for all gifts - none more so than those made with love to honour the lifetime of a friend or family member.

There are many ways in which you can donate.
