Notice of Missyou service closure

29th April 2010

Dear Member,

A recent financial review of the 'Missyou' service has highlighted that it is no longer financially viable for Missyou Limited or its parent company (Weston Hospicecare Limited) to provide this facility.

The service and administration of donations for Affiliated Hospices has been funded almost entirely by donations provided by the supporters of Weston Hospicecare, since June 2007. The charity's management now feel that the time is right to re-focus these donations on the charity's core activities, namely the care and support of individuals with life limiting conditions. Consequently, the decision has been taken to close the Missyou service on 29th July 2010.

Unfortunately, Missyou is not able to make arrangements to transfer tributes to other sites. Where Members wish to continue to publish their tributes on a website, it is recommended that they begin the process to move to a new site as quickly as possible, as hosting for the Missyou website will be withdrawn at the end of 29th July 2010, and the site will no longer be available.

Best Wishes

Missyou Limited

12th May 2010 - Update

Dear Member,

It has come to our attention that the tribute data held on the Missyou website has been damaged. This has been fed back to the site hosting company but they have been unable to find any reason why this might have occurred. We have undertaken some testing ourselves and believe the site may have been maliciously targeted by individuals wishing to destroy the information. Further testing yesterday indicated that more data had been damaged. Therefore, members are advised to take steps to copy their tributes's information as soon as possible.

Best Wishes

Missyou Limited
