Is there a usual amount to give in memory?
No. Families rarely expect a set amount, and every gift is recorded the same way. Some people give what they would have spent on flowers, some give a round number, and families sometimes give a larger gift together.
What different amounts can fund
- £25 can fund one complete breast screening: a clinical exam, an ultrasound and health education.
- £75 can fund a biopsy and full diagnostic work-up.
- £150 can fund one month of hormone therapy support.
- £500 can fund surgical access support for one patient.
These are illustrative programme costs. Donations are pooled and costs vary by location and patient need.
Ways to give in memory
- A one-off gift with an "in memory of" dedication on our donate page.
- A collection at a funeral or memorial. Email us to arrange paying in the total.
- A monthly gift in their name.
- A fundraiser in their memory, such as a walk on an anniversary or during Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October.
Approved tributes can appear on our Dedication Wall. Gift Aid is not claimed at present.
