Setting up a Tribute Fund can be a wonderful way to honour the life of someone special.

An NSPCC Tribute Fund can help you keep someone's memory alive by protecting children in their name. Each Fund will help the NSPCC to safeguard children whose lives are just beginning: a truly lasting tribute.
Why set up an NSPCC Tribute Fund?
An NSPCC Tribute Fund enables you to honour the life of a loved one or friend, while contributing to our vital work of protecting children from cruelty.
Anyone can start a Fund in memory of a family member or friend and you’ll be able to watch the fund grow.
By helping more children to grow up safely, a Tribute Fund can be a truly inspiring and enduring way to remember someone special.
The Sam Sherwin Tribute Fund
Sue and Bill Sherwin chose to raise money for the NSPCC in memory of their son Sam:
“Our son, Sam, died suddenly aged 18. He was our world. Sam came from a loving home, but he knew that not all children were so fortunate. In memory of Sam, we are raising money for the NSPCC. Through his Tribute Fund, we can remember Sam and help other children”
