How do I set up a Crocus Tribute Fund for my loved one?
It is very easy to create a page that is personal to your loved one.
You will need a valid email address and you will also need to login or register to our site, if you have not already done so. Registering should only take a couple of minutes - though you will need access to your email to activate your account.
Once you are logged in, you will just need to enter the name of the person you are honouring and write something about them and add a photograph, if you would like. You will also be given the option of creating a friends and family list so that you can choose to notify them by email that you have set up the Fund.
Once you have created your page, you will be able to write journal entries and upload photographs. (There is a maximum limit of 24 photos.) You will also be able to make donations into your loved one's Fund and light candles for them. You and visitors to your page will also be able to set up separate funds that support your loved one's Crocus Tribute Fund. So, if someone in your family is getting married or one of your friends is running a marathon, they can set up their own page and all the money that they raise through their event will be credited into the Crocus Tribute Fund you have set up.
In addition to all this, visitors to your page will be able to write in the Visitors' Book. You will be notified by email when someone has written an entry and you have the option (when logged in) to delete the entry if you do not feel it is appropriate for your page.
For further information on how the Funds work, please see the FAQ section.
What is a Crocus Tribute Fund?
A Crocus Tribute Fund is a positive and simple way for friends and family to remember a loved one and in their name help us to continue our research, awareness and campaigning work.
Every pound raised for the Crocus Fund comes directly to Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
How do I tell my friends and family about my page?
When you are logged into your account administration area, you can build a friends and family email list. When you create your page, you will be given the option of automatically emailing all the contacts in your list by simply checking the appropriate box. You'll be able to edit your list at this stage too.
What do I have to do once my page is set up and friends and family have been notified?
As the person who has set up the Fund, you will be able to do the following things when logged in:
- write, edit and delete journal entries
- upload photographs - there is a maximum limit of 24 photos
- delete any Visitors' Book entries that you feel are inappropriate.
You and visitors to your page will also be able to:
- write in the Visitors' Book
- set up secondary funds for any event and/or occasion where you or they would like to make a collection for the Crocus Tribute Fund. So, if someone in your family is getting married or one of your friends is running a marathon, they can set up their own page and all the money that they raise through their event will be credited into the Crocus Tribute Fund you have set up.
Can I change the page later?
Once your page is published you can use the admin area to change:
- your message
- your journal
- your photographs
- send more emails to friends and family
- change your password or email address.
What about security?
You will be using a secure connection to create your page and a password-protected account will be set up for you to make any changes.
