Lily's fund
Christine and Frank set up a Candlelight Fund in memory of their granddaughter Lily to help give other children the chance of life that Lily never had.
A Candlelight Fund is a special fund in memory of a loved one who has died, where all donations made in their memory are combined to create a beautifully lasting tribute to them.
Celebrate a life and give hope to thousands more.
What is a Candlelight Fund?
A Candlelight Fund can be a private act of remembrance – donating to mark special moments like your loved one’s birthday or anniversary – or you can invite others to join in too.
There are no targets, deadlines or minimum amounts involved. This is your fund and you can grow it in whatever way feels comfortable.
