Add your personal message of love

Remember someone special this Christmas with a star dedicated in their memory on our Light Up a Life Christmas tree and a Light Up a Life wall of remembrance.

Your Light Up a Life star will lovingly hold the name of your loved one on a Christmas tree at the Hospice in Pembury or the Hospice in Five Ashes, throughout December.

Dedicate your star

Do I need to book to attend the Light Up a Life service?

Yes. Booking is essential as space is limited and we cannot guarantee you entry without a booking.

Will there be refreshments?

Yes. Complimentary refreshments will be served before and after the service.

If I returned my star to the Hospice, will it be on display at the event?

Yes, if you made a dedication online, over the phone, or by post on or before 27th November, your star will be displayed on the tree at your chosen location throughout December. Your loved ones name will also be displayed on our online wall of remembrance.

Dedications received on or after 27th November may not be displayed in time for the services, but will be displayed for the remainder of December, and your loved ones name will also be added to our online wall of remembrance.

Can I dedicate and hang my star at the service?

Yes, you are welcome to bring your star(s) with you, or you can collect one at either of the events. Volunteers will be on hand to help you to make your dedication, ensuring your loved ones name is captured on our online remembrance wall.

How long is the service?

The service will likely last approximately 30 minutes.
