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?
“It’s so important to have things like this to leave legacies.
It’s invaluable.”
Swan Song Participant
Your gift could help someone facing terminal illness or bereavement express thoughts and feelings that are often difficult to put into words.
It could help a parent celebrate the life of a child, enable a husband to tell his wife how much she means to him, or give someone the opportunity to share their life story with the people they love.
These songs are often described as priceless. They are played at funerals, treasured by families, and passed down through generations.
By gifting a Swan Song, you’ll give a family a unique experience and a lasting legacy.
Maybe you could get together as a family, a group of friends or colleagues to gift a song in memory of someone?

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.
We’re here to support you with your fundraising, so please get in touch if you have any questions.
Thanks to your support, a family will have something truly special to hold onto forever.
Thank you again for your kindness and support.
