Fundraising in memory of a loved one

Looking to support CALM in memory of someone? You’re in the right place.

Raising money in memory of a loved one can be a rewarding and a difficult thing to do.

On one hand, fundraising for a lost loved one can be amazing, giving you, your friends, and family something positive to focus on and work towards. It can also bring up some difficult and maybe unexpected emotions. Most likely, it’ll be a bit of both.

That’s why CALM’s here to support you during your fundraising and beyond. You can contact us with any questions you have along the way - and if you’re struggling, we’ve got loads of tools and resources to support you, including our life-saving suicide prevention helpline.

Set up a tribute page

One way to support CALM and remember someone you’ve lost is through a tribute page.

A tribute page lets you share photos, thoughts and memories of your loved one. It’s also a way for family, friends and colleagues to donate to CALM. All the donations made in your loved one’s memory will be collated there, so you can see everything that’s been raised in one place.

To get your page set up you’ll need to add your loved one’s name and a few other details. You’ll then receive an email from our partners MuchLoved with a link to the tribute page. We’ll also be in touch to support you with your page.
