Join us to remember your loved ones this Christmas
Donate and dedicate in memory of your loved ones. Last year we raised over £38,000 to support local people, and their loved ones, living with a terminal illness.
Light up a Life is an opportunity to remember loved ones who are no longer with us and reflect on your memories of them. Write a message for the Book of Memories, dedicate a light on our virtual Light up a Life tree, and join us at one of our special services, either in person or online.
Virtual Light up a Life tree – Your dedication will feature on our beautiful virtual Light up a Life tree.
Book of Memories – Your loving dedication will be included in the Book of Memories, available to view at the Light up a Life services and service locations throughout November and December.

What Light up a Life means for Kirsty
Kirsty will be joining the local community this year in remembering their loved ones. The whole team at St Giles know how much Light up a Life means to families they have supported, as well as the wider community.
Kirsty said:
“Working at the hospice during Christmas is a privilege. We decorate our patient’s rooms, organise celebrations, and arrange for families to share a Christmas lunch together, creating cherished memories during what can be a very difficult time. While it can be a challenging time for our patients, with many wondering if it will be their last Christmas, we strive to make it as special as possible for them and their loved ones.”
“Light up a Life is a wonderful way to support St Giles, whilst remembering loved ones who are no longer with us at Christmas.”
