What is a Lasting Memories Tribute?

A Lasting Memories Tribute Fund is a positive way to celebrate the life of a loved one, while supporting the work of Royal Voluntary Service. Tribute pages are easy to set up and become a special place where family and friends can share memories and stories, photos and videos, as well as light virtual candles in their memory.

You can add to your loved one’s fund in lots of different ways. As a one-off gift, a regular gift on special anniversaries, donations instead of presents at a celebration, or donations in lieu of flowers at a funeral.

About Royal Voluntary Service

For over 85 years, WVS, WRVS and today as Royal Voluntary Service, has inspired around three million women and men to give their time to help others. Whatever the crisis, wherever the need, we are on the frontlines in hospitals and communities throughout Britain.

Royal Voluntary Service provides essential services to tens of thousands of people each and every day. We support people at home, in communities, and in the NHS through a wide range of services, including helping those who are coming home from hospital alone, taking patients safely to and from their medical appointments, transporting people to buy their shopping or meet their friends, and by providing companionship for those who are isolated. We also provide lunch clubs where older and vulnerable people can enjoy a hot meal in the company of others in a warm and friendly environment.
