Collections in memory of a loved one
A collection at a loved one's funeral is a very valuable way to support our charity. Not only does it raise funds for us immediately, but it also really helps us by putting New Forest Disability Information Service in people's minds for future donations. We are always really appreciative when the family of someone we have supported helps us in this way.
In addition to having a collection plate as people leave the ceremony, you can also arrange for donations to be sent to the funeral directors by people who are not able to attend. You can also ask people to make a donation instead of sending flowers.
Please contact us if you would like any advice on arranging an 'In Memory' collection.
In memory of Gordon Trow
A collection in loving memory of Gordon Trow covered the cost of a new laptop for the New Forest Disability Information Service. His wife, Janet Trow, was delighted to present the laptop to Jacki Keable at the charity's office and shop in New Milton. Many thanks to everyone who donated in memory of Gordon.
In memory of Anthony (Tony) Taylor
A collection was gratefully received by New Forest Disability Information Service in memory of Tony Taylor. His wife Eileen said, "Your kindness over the years with advice and form-filling was so helpful. Tony and I would not have been able to do it without you all."
Tony was a wonderful, caring man who never once moaned about his illness and was grateful for every day, whatever it threw at him. His passion, apart from family, was fishing and football. He spent many a day on the riverbank with all the disability equipment he needed, and nothing would stop him - apart from when he fell in the River Avon and had to be rescued by the Emergency Services - but the sun came out, he dried off and carried on! That was him, a funny man with a big character.
