We realise that losing a loved one is a very difficult time and many families choose to limit funeral flowers and invite other family and friends to make a donation to a chosen charity in their loved ones name instead.
Arranging for donations in lieu of flowers can be a wonderful way for loved ones to join you in this celebration of life. The contributions from family and friends is a positive way to celebrate their life whilst supporting an important local charity.
Collecting donations instead of flowers at a funeral can help us continue looking after this important Collection and help us plan for the future. In order to help with your collection, we can provide donation envelopes if required.
Please contact our Fundraising Team on 01282 773963 or email: fundraising@gawthorpetextiles.org.uk to request your envelopes.
Alternatively if you would like to make a donation in memory of someone who has recently died, please click here for details of how to donate. Then send us an email with the information about your donation so that we can thank you.
Please note: When sending us a donation in memory we may inform the family of who donated and the total donation amount (we will not include the individual amounts).
If you would like to remain anonymous please inform us when making the donation. Thank you for your support.
By including a gift in your will, we’ll be here for generations to come.
None of us know what the future holds and it’s easy to put off making a Will, or updating an existing one. People are often under the misconception that should they die, their loved ones will automatically receive everything. Unfortunately this is not necessarily the case. Taking the time to make a valid and up-to-date Will is the only way to ensure that your assets and estate go to the people and causes closest to your heart.
For help and advice or if you would like to discuss leaving a gift to Gawthorpe Textiles Collection in your Will, or if you wish to inform us that you have already done so, please phone us on 01282 773963, or email fundraising@gawthorpetextiles.org.uk
