Light Up a Life

SAVE THE DATE:
Light Up a Life 2025: Sunday 7th December, 5pm

Join us for our annual Light Up a Life service, a unique service enabling our community to remember their lost loved ones in a positive way, with their participation being not only a symbol of remembrance, but a way to show support to those in need in the community during the festive period.

Our 2024 Light Up a Life Service raised its highest to date with £35,740 to support patient care at the Hospice.

Light Up a Life 2024 saw over 1,000 households tuning in to the virtual service and over 1,200 dedications made to loved ones, as well as hundreds of people in attendance at the in-person service. Those who made a dedication had a light lit in memory of their loved ones on the Hospice’s dedication tree and their loved ones names have a special place in our Light Up a Life Book of Remembrance as well as on-screen during the virtual service.

We received over 1,200 dedications for those who are no longer with us, but who live on in our memories and our hearts. Joining us at the Hospice to remember your loved one(s) meant so much to us and we thank everyone for being a part of it. We hope you agree that the night was a memorable one and we look forward to inviting you back for our service again next year.

We want to say a special thank you to our event sponsor, Roma, our Hospice Readers, Paul Firth and Dr Kershaw’s Hospice Choir, St Joseph’s RC Junior Infant and Nursery School, Oldham Community Radio, The Oldham Times, Oldham Interfaith Forum, Oldham Council and Christmas Plus, New Image PR, Hays Travel, Crompton House Church of England School, Dr Kershaw’s Hospice staff and volunteers and the Clinical Teams at Dr Kershaw’s Hospice for their incredible work in the community.
