A Barnardo’s Tribute Fund is a heartfelt way to remember your loved one. It’s a dedicated online space where friends and family can come together to share photos and stories, light virtual candles, mark anniversaries, and raise funds in their memory.
Tribute fund supporters, Christine and Alison
Creating a tribute fund is a lasting way to keep a loved one’s memory alive, while helping to support Barnardo’s work to create safer childhoods and brighter futures for children and young people.
“The opportunities Barnardo’s gave our father meant everything. We would not exist if it were not for the path Barnardo’s set him on. Honouring him in this way just feels right.”
