Your engraved leaf, with up to 26 characters for a name or short message, will be placed on our Memory Tree at the Hospice in Bosham, where you are welcome to visit. Each leaf remains on the tree for the first 13 months, after which you can choose to renew your dedication for a further 12 months.
By dedicating a leaf, you are not only creating a lasting tribute but also making a real difference to those we care for.
We have three beautiful leaf options, each with a suggested minimum donation for your dedication. Once your donation has been received, we’ll be in touch to discuss your tribute. You can choose to pay for your leaf monthly via a direct debit, or you can pay a one off donation.
If you have any questions, please contact us or read our FAQs.
£120 (or £10 per month)
£210 (or £17.50 per month)
£300 (or £25.00 per month)
Once your donation has been received, we’ll be in touch to discuss your tribute.
Please note that each leaf can hold up to 26 characters including spaces. The name engraved on your leaf will appear exactly as entered, so please check the spelling carefully. We cannot be held responsible for any misspelling.
You can find the full terms and conditions in our FAQs section below.
The Memory Tree always meant a lot to Pat and me. After she died, I knew a Bronze Leaf would be a fitting way to honour her life.

Seeing her leaf when I visit the hospice brings me comfort and reminds me of the special memories we shared.
Your donation to St Wilfrid’s helps us continue to care for local people who have a life-limiting illness.
Many people don’t realise that St Wilfrid’s Hospice is a charity, and that we rely on the generosity of the local community to help us raise the £10.5m it costs to run our services every year.
Thanks to the generosity of people like you, we have been running our services for almost 40 years.
Your leaf will remain on the Memory Tree for 13 months. After this time, we will be in touch to ask if you would like to renew your leaf, or if you would like to have your leaf sent home to you.
Yes of course! The Memory Tree is based in our general reception at our Hospice in Bosham, Chichester. There is a seating area where you can sit back and reflect. We also have a cafe selling hot drinks and cakes, so you are more than welcome to bring some friends and family with you to view the leaf and enjoy some refreshments.
