We are proud to introduce our Memory Tree, created as a lasting, beautiful tribute to the people who hold a special place in our hearts. Honour the memory of your loved one by dedicating a beautiful leaf engraved with a message of your choosing.

Your leaf will be placed on our Memory Tree at the hospice for a year, where it will be part of a collective tribute within the hospice grounds which you can visit any time.

By dedicating a beautifully engraved leaf, you are creating a permanent way to honour their memory while directly supporting Martlets' essential compassionate care services.

How it works

If you would like to dedicate a leaf for your loved one, you can choose between three options. We kindly ask for a minimum donation with each leaf.

🍂 Bronze Leaf – £150
✨ Silver Leaf – £300
💛 Gold Leaf – £500

Every leaf purchased will help us continue providing compassionate care and support to families when they need it most.

Our Memory Tree is located at the front of the hospice, in the beautiful flowerbed to the right of the main entrance. If you’d like to visit, you are also welcome to take some time for quiet reflection in our Sanctuary.

Dedicate your leaf

Fill in the form to choose your leaf colour and provide your dedication.
