Crocus Tribute Fund - in memory of someone special

Every penny given to the Crocus Tribute Fund will be used to help Breakthrough Breast Cancer's research, awareness and campaigning work.

What is a "Crocus Tribute Fund"?

You can pay tribute to a loved one, by setting up a Crocus Tribute Fund in his or her name. A Crocus Tribute Fund is a lasting way to remember someone special.

Named after the person who you wish to honour and remember, it gives friends, relatives and colleagues a focus for making their own individual contribution to help people fight breast cancer.

How does it work?

Crocus Tribute Funds are really flexible; allowing you to donate in whichever
way suits you best.
When we receive a gift in someone's memory, we can establish a Crocus Tribute Fund in their honour. Crocus Tribute Funds are really flexible; allowing you to donate in whichever way suits you best. You can choose to give single donations, or monthly gifts by direct debit. You can take advantage of Gift Aid to make your contributions worth nearly a third more and it won't cost you a thing.

Others prefer to participate in sponsored events, like bike rides or runs, or to raise funds by organising a dance, party or quiz. Friends and family can make their own gestures of remembrance, in whatever way feels right. It's up to you.

It's extremely simple to set up and we handle all the administration and will provide you with regular updates on how the fund is growing.
