Giving in Memory to MAYFACS
Creating a legacy through "In Memory Giving" offers a lasting way to reflect on a loved one’s life while doing something positive for the future. It allows their memory to live on through the essential services MAYFACS provides to our community.
With only 20% of families aware of their loved ones' charitable preferences, starting that conversation today ensures that a person's wishes continue to make a difference in the community they called home.
Remembering a loved one with a funeral collection
A funeral collection is a wonderful way to raise money in memory of a loved one, by asking friends and family to donate to MAYFACS in lieu of flowers.
You can collect donations online by setting up a Memorial Tribute page (see below link to the Much Loved platform). This is a Tribute platform where you can collect donations for your chosen charity and share memories and photos.
Alternatively, you can collect donations in-person at the funeral or memorial service.
If you need help organising a collection, your Funeral Director can advise and support you or contact the MAYFACS office.
Including a Gift in your Will
By including MAYFACS in your Will or adding a simple Letter of Wishes, you can ensure our community remains supported for generations to come.
Your solicitor can help you turn your kindness into a legacy.
Thank You for Giving in Memory

NOT ON MY WATCH
Written Sept 2011
At this moment in time
There is a window of opportunity
For some blue sky thinking
Which will tick all the boxes
For time is of the essence
On my watch
It's not rocket science
In actual fact
It's a no brainer
It's a quantum leap
It's cheap as chips
And as plain as the face
Of my watch
It's dog eat dog
In this crazy world
But the show must go on
For going nowhere is not an option
And there are wheels within wheels
In my watch
When you're out of your comfort zone
and the going gets tough
The tough get going
But when all's said and done
At the eleventh hour
it's one minute to midnight
Though not
Definitely not on my watch
