It’s known as a ‘pecuniary gift’.

Donate in Memory
Celebrate the life of a loved one while supporting our vital work. Perhaps a family member or friend suffered from or died from thrombosis. Remember a loved one by making a donation in their memory to Thrombosis UK.
You can also remember a loved one by setting up a personalised tribute page that friends and family can donate to.
How to Create a Memory Page
1. Create
It is simple and safe to make a Memory page and add your photos and story
2. Share
Together we can help people to donate and leave messages
3. Support
The Memory page will celebrate your loved one’s life and raise awareness of thrombosis, supporting Thrombosis UK’s vital work
Tribute sites are one of the most popular ways people can donate following the loss of a loved one. One of the most popular is Much Loved, which helps you step by step so at a very sad and difficult time, Much Loved is holding your hand to help.
You can also set up memorial pages on Just Giving, Give Wheel and Crowdfunder. These sites will help to keep your donations together and so easier for you to see the total amount that has been given and share this with family and friends. Often this can provide families with some comfort.
Donate in Celebration
A special way of celebrating your occasion is to support Thrombosis UK. Ask your guests to consider making a donation to the charity rather than receiving presents.
Donate through Salary
Payroll Giving, also known as Give As You Earn, is a simple way to make regular, tax-free donations. It’s a quick and easy way to donate to us.
How do I donate?
Ask your Payroll Department whether your company offers the scheme. If they do, you need to decide how much you would like to give each time you are paid.
Every time you’re paid, your Payroll Department deducts the agreed amount and sends it to us. There’s nothing more for you to do.
Your donation will be even bigger at no further cost to you, as the Government adds the tax on as an extra donation, this means, if you agree to give £5, (if you are a basic rate tax payer) you only pay £4 – the taxman makes up the remaining £1.
Philanthropy
Our priority is for everyone to know the Risks Signs & Symptoms of VTE and to support research to extend understanding into the prevention and bets management of VTE.

Fundraise at Work
Fundraising at work boosts team morale and raises your social responsibility profile in the local community and industries in which you operate.
Our work simply couldn’t happen without the support of the generous teams in businesses and organisations across the country.
We’ve created some simple and fun ideas to get your colleagues involved in raising money.
As an employer would you match-fund monies raised.
1. Sponsored Silence
An oldie but a goodie. Why not try to get the whole team involved too – or maybe even your boss.
2. Sponsored Silence
Ask your colleagues for a donation to take part.
3. Bake Sale
If you can’t bring yourselves to cut out the cake, charge people to eat it instead! Organise a few colleagues to bake their best showstoppers. Another easy way to bring in the dough.
4. Sporting Event
Sign up for one of our listed running, cycling or sport events:
5. Skip the Snacks
Are you a sweet-toothed bunch? Why not ditch the doughnuts for the day? Donate what you would have spent to Thrombosis UK.
6. Get an Exercise Bike
Hold a cycling or rowing relay – how quickly can you and your colleagues cycle from Lands End to John O’Groats? How fast can you row the Thames? Get your colleagues who don’t want to get sweaty to sponsor you. Or draw lots, getting people to guess how long it will take.
7. Payroll Giving
Payroll Giving, also known as Give As You Earn, is a simple way to make regular, tax-free donations. It’s a quick and easy way to donate to us.
How do I donate ?
Ask your Payroll Department whether your company offers the scheme. If they do, you need to decide how much you would like to give each time you are paid.
Every time you’re paid, your Payroll Department deducts the agreed amount and sends it to us. There’s nothing more for you to do.
Your donation will be even bigger at no further cost to you, as the Government adds the tax on as an extra donation, this means, if you agree to give £5, (if you are a basic rate tax payer) you only pay £4 – the taxman makes up the remaining £1.
If employer subscribes to Benevity we can receive one-off and regular donations via payroll or match funding.
