The Power of Video Thank you's

A thank you message from someone in your care team, research staff or fundraising, simply recorded on a phone and uploaded onto a tribute would be an incredibly powerful thank you, one that could be kept and seen by many for years to come.

There are many fine examples of this, one of which is from American charity, Water.  When they turned five they decided to spend their birthday giving personalised thank you's to their supporters.  This involved writing letters, making phone calls but also filming several short, very personalised thank you videos.

It's great to see so many staff getting involved and giving the credit to their supporters.  These individual thank you videos are available to watch via their YouTube channel, some of which have been watched thousands and thousands of times.

Another fine example of this happened very recently for St Micheal's Hospice, Hereford. Thanks to their amazing work, they received a very special personalised thank you message.

Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliff whose friend's grandmother had been cared for at St Michael's sent a personal video thank you to the staff.

A simple, short, video recorded on a mobile phone, something that took seconds to make has made an enormous impact on the staff at the hospice.

Why not give it a try yourselves and make a huge impact on your tribute funds holders.  Loading videos onto a MuchLoved tribute is straight forward but if you need any help, please do get in touch.

Regular Gifts can now be recorded within a MuchLoved tribute

Regular Donations that are being collected through your own facility can now be replicated & listed on MuchLoved tributes.  This functionality gives you another fundraising mechanism to offer your fund holders.  It also gives you an excuse to offer a Tribute Fund to In Mem Regular Givers, so they can see their donations accumulate. A regular gift is the perfect way to remember a relative or friend and being able to see it grow is very rewarding.

RNLI supporters are finding it incredibly motivating.

Two Tribute Fund schemes running side by side at Acorns Hospice

Acorns Children’s Hospices provide care and support to life limited and life threatened children, and their families, throughout the West Midlands, Warwickshire, Herefordshire, Gloucestershire and parts of Staffordshire and Shropshire. Through each of their three hospices they offer two different Tribute Funds; Daisy Chain Tribute Funds dedicated to celebrate the life of a child or young person who has been cared for at the hospice and Golden Oaks Tribute Funds to remember someone loved in life. Both funds are brought together and displayed side by side in the virtual garden.

“The ease at which people can open their own MuchLoved page and then receive words of comfort or memories, wherever they are, is brilliant.  We love the way the Tribute Fund Garden brings both streams of Acorns Tribute Fund holders together into one ‘family.’ Being able to offer MuchLoved to families is fantastic and I know that it has brought great comfort to many.”
Janine Miller – In Memoriam Officer, Acorns Children’s Hospice
