In memoriam

Some people who fundraise or donate to Brake have been affected by death or injury in a road crash and want to give something back to the cause, to help Brake campaign to stop more casualties and support other people who are injured or bereaved.

If you have been personally affected and wish to fundraise for Brake, please browse the ideas below and more on our fundraising pages or contact Caroline on This email address is being protected from spambots.

Donations at a funeral
Some people bereaved by road crashes choose to generously fundraise for Brake by asking for donations instead of flowers at a funeral or memorial service. If you wish to do this and would like some words about Brake and the use of our logo for a funeral programme, please call Caroline on the details above.

Commemorative event
Other people bereaved by road crashes choose to hold an event as a celebration in memory of a loved one who died (such as a dinner dance featuring their favourite music, or a sports event featuring their favourite sport) so friend and family can commemorate together while also raising funds for Brake and celebrating a loved one's life. Call Caroline on the details above for support running your event. You can also use these tips to help you organise a successful event.

You can use Givealittle to set up a fundraising page for your event.
