Light Up a Life 2025
Light Up a Life 2025 sponsored by Castletons Independent Family Funeral Services
Through our Light Up a Life appeal, you can celebrate the memory of your loved one and remember the special times you shared in a truly meaningful way.
When you dedicate a light, your loved one’s name will be displayed on a star from the 4th December until 11th January on one of the Hospice’s beautiful Christmas Trees. A light will also be illuminated on our Light Up a Life Tree, honouring their memory and shining out in the darkness during this festive time, bringing comfort to everyone who visits the Hospice.
By supporting Light Up a Life, you will not only be remembering your loved one, but you will help Springhill Hospice to continue to care for local people and families when they need it most.
Every light tells a story. Every Star holds a memory. Join one, or all of our Light Up a Life celebrations:
Saturday 6 December - 4pm - Hospice Outdoor Celebration
This is a time to view your loved one’s name which will be displayed on the Hospice Christmas Trees and light a lantern in their memory. We will share songs, readings and there will be refreshments served indoors after the celebrations where you will also have the chance to view our Light Up a Life video that will display your loved one’s name.
Thursday 4 December - 7pm - St Chads Parish Church Service
Your loved one’s name will be displayed as part of a video that will be played before and after this service. You will also have the chance to write a meaningful message to your loved one on seeded paper that will be composted and planted in our beautiful Hospice Gardens. This will also be available at our other celebrations. We will share a moment of peace and you can light a candle to remember precious moments with your loved one.
Monday 8 December - 2pm - 6pm - Hospice Drop-in Celebration (indoor)
This is perfect for people who want to remember their loved one in a quieter environment. The Drop-in Celebration will take place inside the Hospice building. You are welcome to arrive anytime between 2pm - 6pm and stay for as long or as little time as you wish to view the Light Up a Life video. There will be a selection of mindfulness activities, candles to light and refreshments to enjoy.
We would love to welcome you to any, or even all, of our Light Up a Life Celebrations happening this December. At all of the events you will also have the chance to write a meaningful message to your loved one on seeded paper that will be composted and planted in our beautiful Hospice Gardens.
As part of your dedication, you can upload a picture of your loved one to be included in the Light Up a Life celebration video, which will be shown at all of our celebrations, alongside all dedication names. You can do this from the 10th Oct by visiting this page.
If you are unable to attend one of the events, or you would like to relive the event, you can view our Virtual Light Up a Life celebration video from Thursday 4th December via our Facebook page or on our website. We would love you to join us in sharing these beautiful moments of remembrance.
