Making a donation or fundraising in memory of a loved one is a meaningful and lasting way to honour their life, whilst also making a difference to a cause they cared about. 

A gift in your loved one’s name will help us to support people in communities across Devon to live fulfilled, healthier, happier lives for longer.

Funeral collections 

Often, people choose to commemorate the life of a loved one by asking for donations in lieu of flowers at their funeral or memorial service.

Most funeral directors are experienced in handling such requests and will assist you in collecting donations. They will take care of the administrative details and ensure that all contributions are passed on to us, making the process seamless and stress-free for you during this difficult time.

Alternatively, if you would like to collect money yourself, we have envelopes for you to collect funds at the funeral, or celebration of life. Please email [email protected] to request an envelope.

Fundraise in Memory. 

You may decide you would like to fundraise in memory of a loved one through a tribute fund or by taking part in a challenge.  Honouring a loved one through a meaningful challenge can be both emotional and fulfilling. Whether it’s completing a walk or run, hosting an event, or taking on an activity that reflects their passions, it’s a powerful way to celebrate their memory and make a lasting impact for others.

How Your Gift Makes a Difference

Your memorial gift helps us to continue to support people in communities across Devon to live fulfilled, healthier, happier lives for longer, in your loved one’s name. 

Contributions made in memory of a loved one can help us to:

• continue to run our programme of Health Walks across 24 locations in Devon, supporting people with their mental & physical health and wellbeing.
• continue to provide a wide variety of Social Activity Groups in the local community.
• offer a young carer a break from their caring role, with the opportunity to do something they wouldn’t normally be able to do, eg join a sports club, enjoy a trip to the theatre or take out a subscription.

By donating or fundraising for Westbank, you ensure that the legacy of your loved one lives on through the positive changes we make to other people's lives.

We invite you to share a story or memory about your loved one. These tributes can be featured on our website or in our newsletter, offering inspiration to others and celebrating the legacy of those who have passed. Please email your stories to [email protected].
