Organising a funeral collection
Thank you so much for your interest in organising a collection. By raising funds in your loved one’s memory, you’re helping to create a brighter future for people affected by breast cancer.
You can collect donations online or in person, with cash and cheques. You might want to use both options so that people can choose how to contribute.
How do I organise a collection online?
You could collect donations online by setting up a personal fundraising page in memory of your loved one. We recommend using JustGiving – it’s quick and easy to do.
You can then share the page link with family and friends so they can leave a donation and a message, if they wish. And it’s easy to contribute even for those who can't attend on the day. Money collected online will be transferred to us automatically, so you won’t need to do anything else.
How do I collect cash donations?
If you’re planning to collect cash donations and cheques, we can give you some fundraising materials to make this easier.
Gift Aid envelopes
These envelopes contain a Gift Aid declaration form and a freepost envelop to send your completed forms back to us. People can fill in the form and add Gift Aid to their donation as long as they're UK taxpayers. This could increase the value of donations by 25% at no extra cost to the person donating.
After your collection, post the completed Gift Aid forms back to us using the freepost envelope, along with a note with your details. Funeral directors might be able to help with this and post the cards on your behalf.
Collection boxes
We can send you a branded cardboard collection boxes to collect cash donations on the day, along with a poster to display. This way, you can let everyone attending know you’re collecting for Breast Cancer Now, and show them the impact their donations will have.
In memory collection form
Fill in the form, select the items you need and we'll post them to you.
How to order your materials
We’ll send you the materials for your funeral collection free of charge. Just complete our online order form and select the number of items you need.
If you need any support ordering materials, send us an email or call us on 020 7960 3508.
To make sure waste is kept to a minimum, we’d appreciate it if you could only order the amount you need, and send us back any unused materials. You can do this using the freepost envelope provided. Thank you for helping us with this.
