During the festive period, many of us will remember and reflect on important people and memories, held so dear in our hearts. These cherished memories are all the more important when someone is no longer here.
Light for a Life is an opportunity for us to come together to reflect on those special memories whilst also supporting the vital work of Wigan & Leigh Hospice.
Your dedication doesn’t have to be in memory of someone who the hospice has cared for. Light for a Life is just about remembering those we love.
Remember and commemorate your loved ones with us this Christmas
By dedicating a light on our tree, you are playing a part in ensuring that our services will continue to be there for families like Dennis’s, when they need us most.
Dennis’s family will be remembering their father, who died earlier this year, having been cared for by our wonderful Hospice Nurse Specialist team in his nursing home.
Christine and Debbie said, “Having Hospice Nurse Specialist, Craig, around in those final days was a godsend. He recognised when Dad needed more pain relief and did everything he could to support him in his final weeks. We were so grateful to him for everything he did for us.”
“As a family, we’d like to thank the hospice for being there for Dad and the kindness that was shown to him. We are so very grateful for everything that they did.”

Join us at our upcoming Light for a Life Service
Our wonderful Light for a Life Service will take place within the hospice grounds on Sunday 29 November, from 4pm.
During the service there will be carols from a local school, music from a brass band, and beautiful readings, marking the special occasion, with the switch on of our Christmas tree completing the evening. There’ll also be refreshments and several stalls for everyone to enjoy.
We look forward to welcoming you.
