Ways to Donate

Donate in Memory

Celebrate the life of a loved one by donating to CHSF in their memory

Make a Donation

Donating in memory of a loved one is a meaningful way to celebrate their life while funding vital care for children with heart conditions and their families. You can make a dedicated online gift, arrange funeral collections instead of flowers or set up a tribute page where family and friends can share memories. Whatever you decide, we are so grateful that you are considering giving to Children’s Heart Surgery Fund at this time.

In memory of Bill

Donating in memory is a touching way to remember a loved one, celebrating their life and supporting a cause which was important to them. To discuss more about making an in memory donation, please reach out to the CHSF team.

William “Bill” Allan Bailey

William “Bill” Allan Bailey was grandfather to Ross who was born with a congenital heart defect. Bill sadly passed away in 2024. The family asked for donations at Bill’s funeral, and donated a very generous £200 to CHSF.

“As a family we are always beyond grateful to Miss Carin Van Doorn who successfully operated on our son, Ross Kirk, at 6 days old, and then again when he was 18. He is now thriving, running his own business at 24. May you all continue the work that you do.” — Honor Kirk, Bill’s daughter

Funeral collections

Loved ones are usually remembered with flowers at their funeral. While flowers fade, donating in celebration of someone’s life will have a lasting impact on improving the lives of children and adults affected by congenital heart disease across our region.

If you would like to remember a relative, friend or colleague in this special way, we can offer you donation envelopes for donations in lieu of flowers. Donation envelopes mean that Children’s Heart Surgery Fund can claim Gift Aid, increasing each donation by 25%.

To request donation envelopes, please contact lauren.procter@chsf.org.uk or call us on 0113 831 4810. Alternatively, you can donate directly online [chsf.org.uk/donate], over the phone on 0113 831 4810 or by post. Please make cheques payable to Children’s Heart Surgery Fund, B5, Joseph’s Well, Hanover Walk, Leeds, LS3 1AB
