In loving memory

A tribute page is a special and meaningful way to celebrate your loved one's life and share what they meant to you, while raising funds to provide affordable counselling support to Aucklanders and their families.

After a loss, friends and family often look for meaningful ways to help. Setting up a Tribute Page enables people to gain comfort from knowing that their loved one's memory and values live on through their charitable donations and tribute.

Your tribute page enables you to share and celebrate your loved one’s life by adding photos, thoughts, and memories about them.

Every donation is recorded on your Tribute Page, along with your donor's message of support or favourite memory.

Receipts will automatically be sent to people who donate to your Tribute Page and online payments will be paid directly to the Wingspan Trust – so you don’t need to worry about any administration.

It is free to create and manage, and it only takes a few minutes to customise and share with your friends and family.

Click on "Create a Tribute" to get underway and set up your account profile. This will create a secure login so you can update/ amend your Tribute Page in the future.

Creating a Tribute Page is easy; just follow our instructions. Here's what you'll be asked to do:

(a) Who is this tribute for?
Provide the name of your loved one. Add a nickname that others will recognise if you wish.

(b) Upload photo of your loved one (jpg, png, or gif file type).

(c) Tell us a little about your loved one; it may be a fond memory or a bit a about their personality that you admired/ enjoyed.

(d) How much do you hope to raise?
This just puts a goal for friends and family to aim for in memory of your special someone.

(e) Your Tribute Page link
Your Tribute Page will have a link that can be placed in emails or funeral notices etc so it's easier for people to find it.

(f) Upload a photo to appear at the top of your tribute page; landscape orientation is best and a jpg, png, or gif file.

Once your Tribute Page is set up you can share the link to your Tribute Page on social media, via email, in the funeral Order of Service or funeral notice, and ask friends and family to contribute.

Donating to your Tribute Page yourself is a great way to set the bar and encourages others to make a donation.

After a loss, many people are looking for ways to help, so let a few close family friends know of your Tribute Page so they can encourage people to donate too.
