Join us in remembering and honouring those we have lost this Christmas.
Christmas can be a very emotional occasion, a time when we particularly think of loved ones who are no longer with us. This year we hope that of our Tree of Light commemoration service, along with our Books of Honour and online dedication page, can provide space and time for families and friends to remember and share those treasured memories.
Dedicate a Light

Situated outside the Hospice itself, the tree will shine throughout the festive period as a symbol of the light those we have loved and lost have brought to our lives.
