Remember someone special at Light up a Life
Remember a loved one this Christmas by supporting Heart of Kent Hospice with a donation to our Light up a Life appeal.
Please join us for a heart-warming service of remembrance and reflection. Experience the comfort of music, poetry and readings as we honour the lives of the people who have brought light into our world. Your donation in memory of your loved-one will help another person whose life has been turned upside-down by terminal illness.
At the service, you will be in the company of others who are remembering loved-ones too, and it can be comforting to know that you are not alone. Please come with a friend or with your family - or come on your own with your private reflections and cherished memories. Everyone is welcome. The programme of uplifting music and words is sure to touch the heart of everybody who attends.
If you are unable to attend the service, you can still make a dedication to those who lit up your life. Every day, another person like you experiences the pain of grief and your heart reaches out to them with compassion - because you've been there too. Will you give strength to the hospice team as they comfort others in their grief this winter?
Can't be there in person?
Show your support with our Light up a Life pin badge and remember your loved one with our wooden star decoration.
If you are attending the event, you can buy a keepsake when registering for Light up a Life.
