Giving a gift in memory of a loved one is a very special way to remember them. By honouring their memory and supporting a charity that was close to them during their lifetime, you are helping transform lives today and make our vision of a world free from Crohn’s and Colitis possible.
Whether it be setting up a regular gift, organising your own special event, taking part in running or cycling events, or including a gift in your Will, there are many different ways you may choose to celebrate the life of someone special and raise money to help change the futures of everyone with Crohn’s and Colitis.
Many people find setting up a tribute page to be a comforting and meaningful way to celebrate the life of someone special to them.
A tribute page is your own special memorial website in tribute to your loved one, where you can share precious memories, thoughts and stories with family and friends as well as light candles, add music, photos and videos. It can also be used to collect fundraising donations, organise events, celebrate anniversaries – and much more.
Together, you can create a lasting tribute to a loved one, and in doing so help improve the lives of people affected by Crohn’s and Colitis.
To get started please enter the details of the person you would like to set up the tribute page for, or search for a page that has already been set up by entering their name below.
We are here for any support you need in setting up your special tribute page.

A funeral or memorial service collection can be a lovely way to honour the life and wishes of a loved one.

Below we've included just some of the ways that you may choose to support Crohn's & Colitis UK in memory of a loved one.
Your generosity in setting up a regular gift in memory of someone special means that you are making a lasting impact on the lives of everyone affected by Crohn’s and Colitis in their name.
I have been raising money for the charity since 2002, when I arranged a golf day in memory of my husband, Ian. Crohn’s & Colitis UK is a charity very close to my whole family’s heart, so to raise awareness and support other people is of the utmost importance to us.

Crohn's & Colitis UK was a charity very close to Alex and his family's heart, and I promised him I would keep his legacy going, whilst supporting the charity.

The loss of my brave sister, Sophie, still leaves our family in pain, however within days of her passing we had set up a Justgiving page in her name and it was incredible to see how much she meant to so many people- the tributes that came flooding in were instrumental to our healing. To keep Sophie’s spirit alive, each year we are having a fundraising day in Sophie’s honour for Crohn’s & Colitis UK. Sophie never gave up- and neither will we!
