Asylum Welcome is run cost-efficiently almost entirely by volunteers. As an independent charity, we rely heavily on financial donations from individuals, faith groups and organisations to provide essential support for asylum seekers, refugees and immigration detainees in Oxfordshire.

Tribute Funds and In Memoriam giving

If you are getting married or celebrating a special occasion, why not ask your guests to donate to Asylum Welcome instead of giving presents and flowers?

Some of our supporters choose to make a donation to Asylum Welcome in tribute to a loved one who has died. It is a special way to remember a friend or relative on an anniversary or other special date.

You could also arrange an online Tribute Fund, for example to enable family, friends and colleagues to pay tribute to their loved one by making a donation to Asylum Welcome in lieu of sending flowers to a funeral.

There are four easy steps to supporting Asylum Welcome through an online Tribute Fund:

  • Create your Tribute Fund webpage – it’s easy and just takes a few minutes.
  • Email your friends, family and work colleagues.
  • Everyone donates online.
  • The money goes straight to Asylum Welcome.

Thank you for your support.
