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.

Who you remember — and how — is entirely up to you.

You might share a photo, a recipe, a quote, a place, a song lyric, a funny story, or a piece of advice or inspiration — whether they were someone you knew personally or someone who simply inspired you.

Your memory will become part of a collaborative artwork we're already working on for Celebration Day 2026, woven together with others submissions into a shared tapestry of reflection, storytelling, and connection.

If you’d like to receive updates about the installation, just let us know at the end of your submission. We can't wait to hear about those who have made a lasting impact on your life.

GUIDING STARS - HONOURING THOSE WHO INSPIRE US


Developed and tested by experienced teachers, this PSHE lesson is designed for students aged 7-14, with age-appropriate adaptations throughout. It encourages pupils to reflect on and celebrate the influence of historical figures, ancestors, or personal mentors who have shaped their lives. 

WHAT’S INCLUDED? 


• A full lesson exploring themes of legacy, remembrance, and gratitude


• A focus on oracy, helping students express themselves and, crucially, how they listen and respond to others using probing questions, active listening and body language. 


• A creative “Guiding Star” activity: students create a paper-cut star to honour someone who has inspired them. Includes templates for both KS2 and KS3, designed especially for Celebration Day 2025 by acclaimed artist Rob Ryan, best known for his intricate and delicate paper cuts.
