I am writing to invite your readers to donate special memories of Sue Ryder and the charity she founded in 1953.

Stories, photographs and news clippings are all welcome. It is planned to place the memories in the Sue Ryder Care Museum at Cavendish, Suffolk.

Lady Ryder established the charity with a legacy left to her which helped her secure a bank loan to open the first care centre and the leading healthcare charity is mounting a campaign this month to raise awareness of how important gifts in wills are to them and how it is possible to help the charity in a modest way through a legacy.

Now, through the Donate a Memory campaign, people are being urged to clear out their cupboards and find any memorabilia of the charity and take it to their local shop, write it down or call the legacies team to tell them about it.
