Light up a Life

We’d love to see you at our annual Light up a Life event on Sunday 7 December, between 12.30 – 2.30pm at Compton Hall.

Gather around our beautiful Christmas tree with lights shining in memory of loved ones and enjoy the seasonal activities and refreshments.

Open to all, it serves as a beautiful symbol of love, hope, and remembrance for those who attend.

Join us to remember and celebrate

The event will feature our Tree of Light, where you are invited to write personal dedications on tags to hang them on the Tree, creating a powerful visual tribute to those you hold in your heart.

A Remembrance Ceremony will be held at 1.30pm and there will be a Remembrance Room featuring our Book of Remembrance and screens with slideshow of photos in memory of loved ones.

Dedications to the Book of Remembrance displayed at Light up a Life are now closed to allow time for the book to be created ahead of the event. However, we would welcome you to make a dedication to appear in our online Digital Book of Remembrance. Any donation you can make, alongside your dedication, will have a huge impact on our patients and their families.

About the event

There will also be the opportunity to take part in activities led by our Spiritual Care team, and purchase hot drinks and seasonal hot food from our on-site coffee shop, Crumbles, all to a backdrop of reflective live music.

This year, there will also be the opportunity to meet with our Clinical and Bereavement Support teams, and enjoy a hand massage from our Complementary Therapy team.

Members of our Living Well Service have been busy crafting Christmas decorations and festive hanging baskets, which will be on sale, along with keepsakes, Christmas cards and calendars, to raise vital funds to support our work.
