Remember a loved one, support your local hospice
Light up a Life on Sunday 2 December
On Sunday 2 December we will gather in Kensington Memorial Park next to Pembridge for a special ceremony that honours the lives of people we have lost.
Our Spiritual Care Advisor Martin Hill will be leading the ceremony. Martin says:
I know that this time of year can be difficult for many reasons, but I hope we can bring a bit of light to your winter with this special event.
The day is a celebration of life and an opportunity to honour the memory of those we have lost.
Please RSVP below by Wednesday 21 November or call us on 020 8102 5407 (Mon – Fri 9am – 5pm)
When you RSVP you can also write a dedication to be included in our booklet of remembrance given out on the day and in the permanent booklet of remembrance kept at the hospice.
We look forward to seeing you there
Order of ceremony
4.00pm Arrive at Kensington Memorial Park (directions here)
4.15pm Light up a Life ceremony begins
4.40pm We light up the park together
4.45pm Refreshments in the park
Martin will guide us through the 25 minute ceremony. There will be time for contemplation and remembrance, but the event is also about celebrating the lives of our loved ones.
The St Charles Primary School Choir are joining us for the third year in a row, to lead us in a new repertoire of songs that honour and celebrate life.
Towards the end of the ceremony we light up the park together and switch on the Christmas lights back at Pembridge. After the ceremony we will enjoy mince pies, hot chocolate and mulled wine.
Sponsor a Christmas light at Pembridge and we will make a personally engraved wooden dove for you to hang at home
By sponsoring a light you will be helping others who need our support. We will hang your dove on one of the trees lit up towards the end of the ceremony and you can then take it home with you afterwards.
If you can’t make the event, we will post your dove to you along with a thank you for your contribution the week after Light up a Life.
Sponsor a light and a dove here or tap/click the leaf above. You need to fill out an RSVP form to let us know who you are sponsoring the light for and what you would like on your dove.
