Honour loved ones this Christmas

This winter we will once again be offering local people the chance to remember the lives of loved ones with our annual Light up a Life campaign.

There will be an opportunity to remember those you love and miss either at home or at one of our events in Buckinghamshire and Hertfordshire.

Cate from Hemel Hempstead attended the Light up a Life service last year after both her parents were cared for by Rennie Grove Peace before they died. She said:

“The service was beautiful and very moving, especially as it took place at St Albans Cathedral, a place my parents often visited.”

It brought Cate comfort to know others were experiencing the same emotions of grief and loss. She felt sharing this moment with people who understood and felt the same was very cathartic.

“I hope there are other families who will also take comfort from these beautiful services and just being together with others for a moment of reflection and remembrance.”

Tracey Hancock, our Director of Fundraising, says:

“We know that this time of year can be very difficult for anybody who has been bereaved. By offering people the chance to dedicate a star or attend our remembrance service we’re giving them a chance to remember the people they have lost, at the same time as supporting our work.

“Every penny raised through donations at the event and star dedications will be used to provide vital hospice care services for people in our community who are living with life-limiting illnesses.”
