Please ONLY send family messages via email: news@melkshamnews.co.uk
Say ‘Happy Birthday’, ‘Congratulations on your Engagement’, commemorate a wedding anniversary or announce a bereavement in Melksham’s best-read newspaper.
Family messages in Melksham Independent News are free with a donation to charity. You can donate online to Dorothy House through our dedicated webpage at www.justgiving.com/melkshamnews
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to donate: Dorothy House Hospice Care gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Photographs are also welcome to accompany any message with a £7.50 donation per image, with wedding photographs free.
For any family messages supplied through a funeral director, we charge the funeral director £25 +VAT or £35 +VAT for messages with a photograph.
All messages will be published at our discretion and subject to available space.
If you have any enquiries about family messages, please telephone our office direct on 01225 704761.
