MuchLoved is a Registered Charity where anyone can create a free beautiful tribute to a loved one hosted freely for ten years or, for a small hosting charge, in perpetuity. This blog is where we as its developers record a few of our musings and ideas. We'd love to hear your suggestions here or in the MuchLoved Community.

Just a really quick update to say that after a seriously intensive burst of development energy we've finished creating a site designed to help other charities become MuchLoved partners and help them fundraise. A lot of people wanted to raise money through their memorials for a good cause close to them or their loved one. People often don't want flowers and wreaths at funerals anymore, they want their money to commemorate the individual by doing something good and positive and that seems like a great way to celebrate and remember them. Once we started offering this facility it became clear the charities themselves were very keen to become partners but explaining to them how it all worked was quite complex. So www.MuchLovedPartners.com was created to help charities see how MuchLoved donations work and so they could see all the other benefits of becoming a partner, not just the donations side, and how easy it is to setup and become one; it's totally free for a charity to become a partner so they have absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain but we've had trouble explaining this to them or at least maybe they've just had trouble believing it! Hopefully the MuchLoved Partners site will show them it really is a genuine & I think quite fabulous thing and they will be able to raise money for their good causes - this will all be due to the generousity of the MuchLoved community and their tribute visitors who choose to donate; so a big thank you to all of you for asking us to do this. Partners can also see reports on the members of their communities who use the MuchLoved service (as long as the Tribute Guardians consent to this) and they can get information on the donations themselves so that they can thank Tribute Guardians for setting up a memorial website and opting to support their charity. I must say an exceptionally big thank you to the development and design team, as usual, they were brilliant! ;)
Back soon with more news. Sorry to be brief today and thanks for visiting!
