CELEBRATE THEIR LIFE WITH A DONATION THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Donate in honour of someone who‘s shaped your life this Celebration Day. Your gift will continue their legacy by supporting vital work in the fields of mental health, cancer, life-threatening childhood illnesses, and end-of-life care.

All donations will be shared equally between Mind (Reg Charity No. 219830), The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity (Reg Charity No. 1095197), Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK (Reg Charity No. 295672) and Hospice UK (Reg Charity No. 1014851).

Who are you celebrating today? Share a name, a few words, or a memory — if it feels right. We‘d be honoured to read it.

SHARE THEIR NAME. CELEBRATE THEIR LIFE.

Everyone can decide who they'd like to celebrate; there is no rule for how you should remember. Feel free to share photos, recipes, song lyrics, quotes, places that remind you of them, funny anecdotes, or perhaps a piece of advice or inspiration you’ve gained from them—whether you knew them personally or not. However you choose to celebrate, you’ll be creating new moments that keep their legacy alive, adding light to the virtual constellation of memories shared by others. We can't wait to hear about those who have made a lasting impact on your life.

Who will
you celebrate?

Held annually on the last bank holiday Monday in May, Celebration Day provides a dedicated opportunity to honour and celebrate the lasting impact of those who have inspired and shaped us—whether through personal connections, history, or culture—and whose influence continues long after they’ve died.


It’s a chance to come together, share stories, and rekindle the memory and spirit of those who continue to guide our own lives.


Inspired by traditions like the Day of the Dead, the idea for Celebration Day originated in 2022 with a small group of friends and embodies a similar spirit. Like Mother’s Day or Remembrance Sunday, it serves as a reminder that, as individuals and as a society, we are enriched by keeping alive the legacy of those who’ve paved the way before us.


This day is for everyone—regardless of age, culture, religion, or background. Celebration Day is not an organisation; it does not campaign, lobby, or profit. There are no political, commercial, or religious affiliations, and you don’t need to sign up, donate, or provide any personal information to participate.

The next Celebration Day will take place on Monday 26th May 2025.

IN THEIR WORDS

SIR STEPHEN FRY COMEDIAN, ACTOR, WRITER & PRESENTER

SIR STEPHEN FRY

COMEDIAN, ACTOR, WRITER & PRESENTER

"[Celebration Day] is an inspired movement that encourages people to take a moment to renew connections to the wonderful people who may have left our lives but can still live in our memories."

HELENA BONHAM CARTER

ACTRESS

"I really believe that we carry the people we’ve loved in us. Once somebody is dead, we tend not to celebrate them, but actually we should celebrate them all the more."

SIR ANTHONY SELDON

AUTHOR, CONTEMPORARY HISTORIAN, POLITICAL COMMENTATOR & EDUCATIONALIST

"Life is not like anything I was led to believe it was when I was young. It does not start at birth, I have realised, and it does not end at death. So today, Celebration Day, is a day not for sadness but for renewal and, indeed, celebration."

A TOUCH OF ART

Renowned artist Rob Ryan created a stunning series of prints inspired by Celebration Day. In collaboration with Moonpig, these artworks were transformed into a limited-edition range of cards, offering a thoughtful way to commemorate and share cherished memories.
