Giving a gift to charity is a great way to shine a light in the darkness and has the added benefit of honouring the achievements and beliefs of your loved one. If they had a passion for hedgehogs and wanted to protect them, then a gift to Dorset Hedgehog Rescue in their memory would be an ideal way to continue their legacy after they’re gone.
Some of the most meaningful gifts are those made in someone’s name. A donor gives in memory of a parent, in honour of a friend’s recovery, or on behalf of a couple celebrating a milestone.
A gift given in someone’s name deserves to be remembered as more than a stray sentence buried in a spreadsheet.
We can now offer dedicated pages for people to make donations for the following:
🕯️ In loving memory: A family asks for donations instead of flowers after a loss.
🎉 Celebrations: A birthday, wedding, or retirement where guests would rather give than gift.
🐾 Pet memorials: Grief for a pet is real, and people like to remember them.
🎨 Something else entirely: A custom page with your own tribute type and fields, for whatever doesn’t fit the list above.
If you would like to have a dedicated giving page in memory of a loved one, or for any other reason, please contact us at office@dorsethedgehogrescue.org with details including photos and text that you would like to have on the page.
It’s quick and easy to make a donation to Dorset Hedgehog Rescue in someone’s name. We have a few options:
Many people ask for donations instead of flowers at a funeral, as cut flowers fade and die so quickly. Donating to a favourite cause can be of lasting benefit for a charity such as ours. Most funeral directors are happy to arrange such collections and forward the donations onto us.
This a a lovely way to really celebrate the life of someone you have cared deeply about. Through web sites such as Justgiving or Muchloved you can create a lasting tribute, inviting friends and family to contribute photos, videos, and stories to the site as well as being able to fundraise in someone’s memory.
