How to help support people affected by Tuberous Sclerosis Complex by giving in remembrance or celebration
Two very special way that many people choose to support the work of the Tuberous Sclerosis Association (TSA) is to give in memory of someone special or to mark an occasion.
Giving in memory or in celebration are both very powerful and poignant ways to help the TSA continue to support people affected by Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC).
Remember someone special
Honouring someone’s life through a TSA donation is an incredibly kind offer and one that we do not take lightly. By choosing to celebrate the life of someone close to you by helping the TSA, you can make a significant difference to the thousands of people in the UK affected by TSC.
Remembrance donations can be organised through either a personal donation, a online tribute fund or a collection at a funeral or wake – one special way is to ask for donations in lieu of flowers.
Many funeral directors offer the service of being the receiving point for donations. They then forward them to the charity, at the same time notifying the family of the total donations received. If you choose to arrange donations this way, it’s important to provide the funeral director with our name and address (Tuberous Sclerosis Association, c/o Nightingale House, 46-48 East Street, Epsom, Surrey, KT17 1HQ) and let friends and family know who to make a cheque out to (Tuberous Sclerosis Association) and the name and address of the funeral directors as the place to send their donations.
If you do decide to remember someone special by donating to the TSA, or have any questions, please let us know who the special person is that you are honouring with your remembrance donation.
Giving in celebration
What better way to celebrate a special occasion than by asking family, friends loved ones or co-workers to donate to the TSA as a gift to you.
As well as being a meaningful present for you, it will mean that the TSC community can benefit from the generosity of you and those around you.
Whether it’s a birthday, wedding or anniversary, you’ll enjoy your special day even more knowing that you’re making a difference to the lives of people affected by TSC.
If you would like your guests to make donations to the TSA at your celebration, we can supply collection boxes and envelopes. To order, please contact our fundraising team on 0300 222 5737Â or you can send an email to fundraising@tuberous-sclerosis.orgÂ
Alternatively, you might like to direct your guests to our online form to give a donation, or if you would like to see the total raised, then set up a JustGiving donation page in aid of the TSA.
