Light Up A Life 2024
Christmas can be a very difficult time if you have lost a loved one, or if you cannot be with someone you love. Our Light up a Life appeal allows you to celebrate the life of a loved one by dedicating a light(s) on our Christmas tree in December.
Every light that shines out from our Christmas tree is a heartfelt tribute to those who are missed but not forgotten.
Once again, we will hold our Light up a Life Service at the Hospice which will take place on Sunday 1st December at 6.00 p.m. and very much look forward to welcoming you.
By dedicating a light to your loved ones, you will not only be celebrating their life, you will be helping us to support our patients and their families at a time they need it most. Families like the Pethard family.

Our Virtual Tree
As part of our Light up a Life Campaign you can dedicate a light on our Virtual Christmas tree without leaving home. Dedicate a light on our virtual tree and leave a personal message when you donate the amount of your choice. You can also upload a photo if you wish to do so. Once the light has been dedicated the message can be viewed when hovering over the light on the tree allowing you to share the reasons why you have donated with others. There will also be an opportunity to dedicate the Star at the top of the online tree for a higher donation option. Please click the button to dedicate a light on our 2023 Virtual Tree.
We are also delighted to offer our range of Light up a Life merchandise which is available to order alongside your dedication. The prices listed include postage.

"Woodlands is personal to our family because they cared for both of my uncles during the last few weeks of their life, basically supporting the family. Giving them amazing care at end of life and supporting the family after the passing of both of them.
You've always got to give back to the to the community. I’m in a position with my business where I can sponsor this event. So it gives me great pleasure to do it and without a second thought."
