We are always particularly grateful for the gifts people make in memory of someone special, which serve both to support our work and pay tribute to the life of a much-loved person.

Paul Simpson

Anne and Stuart Simpson established a fund to honour the life of their son Paul. Anne contacted us recently to let us know that their local drama group has very kindly offered to donate a proportion of the profits from their next production.

This is certainly one of the more unusual ways to increase the value of a tribute fund. Our supporters have run marathons, organised football matches, held parties and taken part in sponsored events to raise money for their funds. As the fund grows, it becomes a lasting tribute to a loved one and their life. With this in mind, you may wish to consider establishing a Tribute Fund in the name of a person you would like to remember.

To find out how you can set up a tribute fund or for further information go to www.action.org or contact Jane Tarrant either on 01403 327414 or email jtarrant@action.org
