Donate in Memory
Many donations made to Mary Ann Evans Hospice are made in memory of a loved one. Not only are they a poignant way to remember someone special and celebrate their life, but they also help to support the vital care we can offer to other families.
There are many ways you can remember a loved one and our team are here to support you:
Organise a funeral collection
Make a one-off or regular donation
Fundraising in memory
Memorial Wall
Eternal Lights
Organise a funeral collection
When someone we love dies, supporting a charity is a meaningful way to honour them. We are on hand to help guide you through the process. This may include having a donation box at the funeral or wake, or perhaps creating an online tribute page allowing friends and family to donate directly to Mary Ann.
One-off or Regular Donation
You may wish to make a one-off donation or become a regular giver in memory of your loved one. To find our more call our Fundraising Team on 024 7686 5439 or click below to make an online donation
Fundraising in memory
Taking on a personal challenge or holding a fundraising event in memory of your loved one can feel a positive way of celebrating their life. This could be a sponsored challenge, a sporting event or something as simple as a cake sale. Whatever you decide, we can be there to help support you along the way.

Memorial Wall
The memorial wall has been a growing centrepiece in our hospice garden since August 2022 and offers a space for families to remember their loved one by purchasing a plaque and creating a lasting memorial they can visit.
Fondly named Bill’s Wall, the memorial wall was put in place by request of a gentleman who was inspirational in the development of the Hospice. Mr Bill Olner, who passed away in 2020, was a former MP, Mayor of Nuneaton, and the original chair of the Hospice Board.
The memorial wall is in the peaceful gardens of the hospice and plaques are available to view Monday to Friday from 9am to 4pm.
Plaque Designs
Plaques A and B both feature two lines of text, with one line being larger and bolder than the other.
Plaque C features three lines of text in varying sizes.
All of the text can be tailored individually for each memorial, with the only restriction being a 40-character limit.
Longer lines of text may reduce font size to accommodate.
Please see the order form below or alternatively, give us a call on 02476 865 440.
Plaque A – Minimum Donation £50
Plaque B – Minimum Donation £50
Plaque C – Minimum Donation £75
Eternal Lights
For the third year running, we are proud to be partnering with Devall & Son to host Eternal Lights, a meaningful event dedicated to honour and celebrate the lives of loved ones who are no longer with us.
Eternal Lights offers an opportunity for our community to come together to remember and celebrate the lives of those they hold dear. It provides a time to pause and reflect, while finding comfort, hope, and support alongside others who share the experience of loss.
Over the last two years, we are honoured to announce that the event has raised more than £12,300 in vital income for the Mary Ann. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who has contributed to this – whether it be through uploading a photo for the memorial video, purchasing a dedication candle, or by making a donation. Every penny really does make a big difference in supporting the vital care we deliver to people living in Nuneaton, Bedworth & North Warwickshire.
We are delighted to announce that Eternal Lights 2026 will take place on Sunday 6th December at Attleborough Green, Nuneaton. We warmly invite our community to come together and join us for this special evening of remembrance.
To find out more about this year’s Eternal Lights service, please visit Eternal Lights 2026 · A Christmas memorial service · Devall & Son or call the hospice on 02476 865439. We will also share regular event updates on our social media channels.
Mary Ann Evans Hospice provides vital end-of-life care by offering physical, emotional, social, and spiritual support to our patients, and their families.
We offer a variety of services, including Hospice at Home Rapid Response, Family Support and Bereavement and a Wellbeing Service.
Our annual expenditure budget is approximately £2.8m per annum, and we receive just 24% of funding through the NHS.
The remaining costs are supported through our voluntary income, which is why your support is so crucial to the hospice.
