We know it's really difficult for colleagues to read, digest and act upon all the "asks" of your charity.
An incredibly important way to encourage team spirit and colleague engagement is to make sure that everyone in your workplace feels included with all your new charity initiatives.
Over 50% of MuchLoved's users now access their tributes on smartphones and small hand held devices. The content our users upload is precious and needs to be clearly visible.
MuchLoved’s Tribute Fund platform, developed and enhanced over more than decade in partnership with bereaved families, charities and funeral organisations, offers the complete Tribute Fund platform.
MuchLoved are extremely experienced at transferring tribute funds from alternative providers onto their bespoke Tribute Fund Platform. So much so that MuchLoved have a process in place that makes it a completely seamless transition.
Here are the ICO’s top five data protection tips for small and medium sized charities:
MuchLoved have recently hosted their 4th annual Partner Event. A unique event specifically for In Memoriam Fundraisers. It's an opportunity for MuchLoved's Charity Partners to network, learn about MuchLoved's latest developments, hear how others are using the platform and share best practice.
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.

Jackie has sent her Remembrance Fund holders personal and sensitive communication in the lead up to Christmas including a mixture of soft asks and non ask messages. This type of stewardship will continue in the year, sending fund holder a variety of messages and gentle reminders regarding engaging with their Tribute Funds.
GriefChat is a way of connecting bereaved people directly to trained bereavement counsellors through a live chat programme, which can be hosted on ANY website.
This service has been developed by MuchLoved's very own Catherine Betley who has a particular interest in end of life and bereavement care and has been involved in managing counselling and therapy services throughout her career. GriefChat, using today's technology, will enable MuchLoved to expand and improve our support for bereaved people to give them more and better information about grief and loss and really change the way in which they are able to access bereavement support and counselling services.
We know that in the UK it’s very hard to gain fast access to mental healthcare and counselling services and in the same way that we revolutionised the way in which people remember their loved ones, we now want to change the way in which they can get help.Vote for MuchLoved here
With Aviva funding, we will establish an online chat function on MuchLoved.com which will enable bereaved people to talk directly to grief counsellors about their loss, how they are coping, what help they need and how they can get this, in order that they are able to better cope with their grief and begin to come to terms with their loss.
Our GriefChat service will be provided by qualified, experienced bereavement counsellors who will be able to quickly help and support people to get the information and care that they need, when
they want it. We know that there’s nothing like this in the UK at the moment and with our experience of both technology and bereavement, feel well-placed to offer it.
MuchLoved's GriefChat will benefit a lot of bereaved people. MuchLoved homepage alone gets more than 144,000 hits per year, so if only 20% of the people who visit us engage with GriefChat we would expect that almost 30,000 bereaved people will benefit from better advice, support, information and access to counselling.
Bereaved people tell us that it’s hard to cope after someone important to them dies, and also that it’s difficult to access community support for bereavement. With this grant, we can change this and really make a positive difference to the lives of people across the UK.

Alison Whittaker-Stewart from Rossendale Hospice said: “Fred Hamer have been enormously generous in providing sponsorship of our Tribute Fund scheme. It’s been a great success, our supporters have been really responsive and it’s help us to build an even closer relationship with Dawn Winfield and the team from Fred Hamer, we’d highly recommend such a partnership”.
Dawn Winfield from Fred Hamer said “We were only too happy to support Rossendale hospice in this way. We’ve been using MuchLoved’s funeral notice & donation processing service for some time now. The results have been fantastic, we’ve seen an increase in donations, we’re getting more traffic than ever to our website and our families are really benefiting from the additional bereavement the service offers. Having Rossendale using the same service, makes the transition of information on donations collected really smooth as everything is transfer over automatically to them via their online Partner Area.”
If you're interested in such a relationship please get in touch at sally.swann@muchloved.com and we can let you know which of your funeral directors we're already working with.
