In memory donations

Making a donation to Children First in memory of a loved one, friend or colleague is a very special way of remembering them.

It can be a meaningful way of reflecting on your memories while helping to protect Scotland’s children and keep them safe.

You can give in memory by donating or setting up a regular gift online

or sending a donation by post to:

Children First
83 Whitehouse Loan
Edinburgh
EH9 1AT

Please do include a note to let us know that your gift is in memory and include your loved one’s name so that we can thank you in the right way.

Funeral Collection

A funeral or memorial collection is another meaningful way to remember a loved one.

You can set up a free online tribute to your loved one including photos and memories through website Muchloved. Donations will be transferred directly to Children First.

If you prefer to organise a collection at the event, we can support you with Children First Gift Aid collection envelopes and information about Children First.

However you choose to remember your loved one, a donation to Children First will be a lasting gift to children across Scotland, giving them hope and a brighter future. Thank you for choosing Scotland’s national children’s charity.

For support, information and event materials such as funeral donation envelopes, please contact a member of our fundraising team on 0345 10 80 111 or email: fundraising@childrenfirst.org.uk.
