GIFT A SWAN SONG, LEAVE A LEGACY.

Some gifts will never be forgotten.

We believe everyone has a song worth sharing.

For terminally ill and bereaved people, writing a Swan Song can be a chance to celebrate a life, share memories, express love, and leave something lasting behind.

Can you help the next one be written?

The Swan Song Project is a unique charity that support terminally ill and bereaved people to write and record their own original song.

Our team of specially trained songwriters have supported people of all ages, from as young as 8 to over 90 years old. This has included people in the early stages of a terminal illness or in their final days, people immediately following a bereavement or many years later.

We support people to create a song that is personal and unique to them and their experience. These songs are often described as priceless, are played at funerals and passed down to future generations.

The Swan Song Project doesn’t charge anyone for this support.

Can you help more musical legacies be created by giving the gift of a Swan Song?

A contribution of £500 can cover the average costs of writing and recording a bespoke Swan Song for a family in a difficult time.

Your £500 provides:

– Initial referral and support
– Songwriting sessions with a professional songwriter
– Recording and production
– A lasting gift for family and friends

Different Ways to Gift a Song

In Memory of Someone Special

You may choose to Gift a Song in memory of a loved one who has died.

By funding a Swan Song for another person or family, you can honour someone’s memory while helping others create a beautiful legacy of their own.

As a Birthday Gift

Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate a milestone birthday?

Instead of receiving presents, ask friends and family to come together to fund a Swan Song for someone who needs it.

Whether it’s a 30th, 50th or 70th birthday, your celebration could help create a lasting legacy for another person.

As a Workplace Gift

Bring colleagues together to make a difference.

A team, department or business can Gift a Swan Song (or several) as part of a workplace fundraising initiative, staff collection or corporate social responsibility programme.

It’s a powerful way to work together and enable someone to tell their story through music.

As a Fundraising Challenge

Taking on a run, walk, cycle or personal challenge?

Why not set a target to Gift a Song?

Whether you’re running a marathon, climbing a mountain or hosting a community event, raising £500 means you could fund a complete Swan Song experience for someone facing terminal illness or bereavement.

Thanks to your support, a family will have something truly special to hold onto forever.

We would love to publicly acknowledge your generosity on our website; you can let us know if you would prefer not to be listed.

Thank you again for your kindness and support.
