What is Light up a Life?
Light up a Life is a series of very special events that take place all
across the country in the weeks running up to Christmas that allow us to
remember the lives of friends and family. The services are organised by
local hospices and are open to anyone, whether their loved one was
cared for by a hospice or not.
Every Light up a Life event is different, but most include readings and music. A vital part is the opportunity to dedicate a message in memory of a loved one, whether by lighting a candle, hanging a message on a tree, recording the name of someone special in a book of remembrance or reading it aloud.
They take place in a variety of venues, from hospice garden or chapel, to a local church or town square.
For most hospices, Light up a Life is one of their best-loved and most meaningful events, attracting hundreds of local people year after year. It represents a time to be comforted and to share hope with others.
While many visitors to Light up a Life events are people who have been touched by hospice care, Light up a Life is open to everyone who feels they would like to remember a loved one in this special way.
If you are unable to attend a Light up a Life event this year, why not light a virtual candle in memory ?
