36 CHARITY SPECIAL People’s Trust for Endangered Species Britain’s wildlife is disappearing. We are in danger of losing red squirrels, dormice and hedgehogs from the UK forever. With your help, People’s Trust for Endangered Species can continue their work to stop this decline. For over 40 years, the charity has fought to protect wildlife and habitats; ensuring future generations have the chance to enjoy them too. Donating in memory of a loved one is a wonderful way to honour their love for wildlife. Collecting funds at funerals or memorials is simple and can help to fund the charity’s vital work for years to come. Alternatively, an online tribute can be created to share memories and photos, and collect donations.

We rely heavily on donations to support better care for all patients undergoing a surgical procedure. Raising money in memory of a loved one can make an impact to a worthy cause so if you are arranging a funeral; you might feel it is appropriate to ask friends and relatives for donations to the Royal College of Surgeons instead of funeral flowers. You can specify a particular area of surgery to support should you wish to do so. Surgery saves lives. Please help our work continue to advance patient care.
