Our dear Heather tragically passed away on 2nd November 2020. Her funeral took place on Friday 4th December at 12.00 at Saltwell Crematorium, Gateshead.

In lieu of flowers, we have set up this page for anyone who may wish to make a donation in Heather's memory.

Ideally, we would like to purchase a memorial bench (£2,000), to be installed somewhere she loved along the Firth of Forth near Edinburgh with views out across the estuary. We know Heather would appreciate the practicality of this too, as someone with limited mobility herself.

We would also like to plant or adopt a tree through Tree Time Edinburgh (£500) https://www.tree-time.com/

We will donate any additional funds to charities that we believe Heather would want us to support - Edinburgh Dog & Cat Home and SustransUK. We are in the process of setting up a separate Justgiving page for the charities so that they can claim 25% GiftAid on eligible donations: https://www.justgiving.com/team/heather-stronach

For Heather's family and friends in New Zealand, we plan to set up a separate fundraiser for you guys - watch this space!

Please rest assured too that we intend to arrange further celebration events for Heather in the UK, New Zealand and Germany when restrictions are lifted.

Much love,

Martyn, Jodie and Dave
