Memory Tree

Dedicate a Leaf to a Loved One

About our Memory Tree

Our beautiful Memory Tree, located in the Hospice garden, offers a tranquil space to reflect and remember loved ones. With benches and privacy, it’s easily accessible without entering the main building.

The tree features 400 leaves, each inscribed with a short message, providing a meaningful way to celebrate and honour cherished memories while supporting the Hospice.

Marking 35 years of care in our community, the Memory Tree stands as a symbol of gratitude for the ongoing support that enables us to provide compassion and care.

How to dedicate a leaf?

To dedicate a leaf to your loved one, we ask for a donation of £120, which can be made as a one-off payment or as monthly instalments of £10. To pay monthly or yearly please complete the online order form below. 

New leaves are added to the tree quarterly. The deadlines for ordering your leaf throughout 2025 are:

  • Friday 13th June

Your leaf will remain on the tree for a year, at which point you can choose to either renew its place for another year or we can return the leaf to you for you to treasure at home.
