Honour and remember a loved one this Christmas
At the Hospice of the Good Shepherd, we understand that Christmas can be a time of reflection and remembrance, especially if you’re missing someone special. Light Up A Life is a heartfelt way to honour their memory and celebrate their life during the festive season.
Each year, hundreds of lights shine on our beautiful Christmas trees across the hospice grounds, each one dedicated to someone dearly missed. You can take part by:
Dedicating a Light
Make a donation to have a light shine on our hospice Christmas tree in memory of your loved one. You’ll receive:
- A light shining until 5th January 2026
- A Light Up A Life card with your loved one’s name
- An entry in our Book of Memories, available online and at our services
Dedicating a Personal Tree
For a donation of £250, you can dedicate a 6ft individual Christmas tree in memory of someone special. Trees can be dedicated to individuals or families and will stand proudly throughout the festive season. Dedications must be received by Friday 21st November.
