We accept donations via cash or cheque, made out to ‘St John’s Hospice’. Kindly include a note stating who the gift is in memory of and send it to Fundraising Department, St John’s Hospice, 60 Grove End Road, London, NW8 9NH.

Donate in memory

Dedicate a jasmine

The jasmine flower and its beautiful scent have long been associated with moments of reflection and happy memories. That’s why we have chosen it as the official flower of St John’s Hospice. Each jasmine flower is handcrafted from metal and hand-painted, making each one truly unique.

Dedicate a butterfly

Our St John's Butterflies are the perfect way to remember and celebrate the lives of the people who are special to you. What's more, your butterfly will help support the work we do at St John’s Hospice, enabling us to support even more patients and their families when they need us most.

Dedicate a leaf on our Giving Tree

The St John’s Giving Tree is pride of place at the entrance to the hospice, serving as a reminder of those we love and have made a difference in our lives. Your leaf will act as a lasting tribute of your loved one, with their name engraved on a bronze, silver or gold leaf.

Set up a tribute page

A personal tribute page is a unique way to remember your loved one while supporting the hospice. It is your own space to post messages, memories, photos and raise vital funds so we can continue to care for more people in the community.

Organise a collection

If you’re hosting a funeral or celebration of life, you may wish to ask family and friends to limit flowers and ask for donations to St John’s instead. We can provide you with collection tins and envelopes, so please email us to request these.

Your collection can be paid in online or by calling 020 7806 4011. Cheques can be made payable to ‘St John’s Hospice’ and should be sent to: Fundraising Department, St John’s Hospice, 60 Grove End Road, London, NW8 9NH. Please ask your friends and family to include a note stating who the gift is in memory of.
