Light for a Life

Remember and commemorate your loved ones with us this Christmas

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.

If you choose to make your dedication online, you have the option to include a photograph of your loved one, alongside a personal message. These will be added to our Online Night Sky.

By dedicating a light on our tree, you are contributing to the continuation of hospice services, helping us to be there for more families, just like Nick and Lucy, when they really need us

"In the days following Nick's diagnosis, we met Hospice Nurse Specialist, Katie. We were so overwhelmed and had no idea where to turn, but Katie was with us every step of the way. She really is the person I'd want in my corner every single time - I don't know what we'd have done without her.

Every person that we met at the hospice was lovely, and I know that if it wasn't for the care they provide, we wouldn't have had those final months together, a time that meant so much to us.

Having the opportunity to make so many lasting memories meant everything to us, and we couldn't have asked for more from Wigan & Leigh Hospice."

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 1 December, 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.
