At Kettering General Hospital, we are delighted to introduce our Memory Tree, a beautiful installation located in the hospital Atrium.
This dedicated space offers a meaningful way to recognise, honour, and remember someone special in your life and provides a lasting and personal tribute.
The installation features beautifully hand-crafted engraved leaves, each one representing an individual story. It has been thoughtfully created to be:
- A place of remembrance and appreciation
- A calm space for reflection and connection
- A lasting way to honour those who have made a difference
Funds raised through leaf donations support Northamptonshire Health Charity, helping to provide vital care and support for patients and their families. Through your generosity, the charity makes a real difference by funding essential equipment, research, staff training, and those extra touches that bring comfort to people during their time in hospital.
Choose your leaf
The cost of a leaf is £120. You can make a one-off donation or donate £10 per month by Direct Debit over a minimum period of 12 months.
Your leaf will remain on the Memory Tree for 12 months from the date it is installed. At the end of this period, you can choose to renew your dedication or have the leaf returned to you.
If you choose to pay by monthly Direct Debit, payments will continue automatically after the initial 12 months unless cancelled. Your leaf will remain on the tree while payments continue and will be returned to you if payments stop.
Once your leaf has been added to the tree, we will let you know. You are always welcome to visit the Memory Tree whenever you wish to take a moment to pause, reflect, and remember.
Frequently asked questions
A leaf will be displayed as soon as possible from the date the order is sent to the engravers.
Each leaf can include up to 35 characters, including spaces. The engraving will appear exactly as submitted, so those ordering a leaf will be encouraged to check spelling carefully.
In exceptional circumstances, the Memory Tree may be relocated to another suitable location within the hospital premises.
Not currently. However, there are plans to include a Memory Tree within NGH and a suitable location is currently being sought.
