Light Up a Life
Our Light Up A Life appeal is an opportunity to remember and celebrate the lives of those who are no longer with us.
This Christmas, we invite you to dedicate a light on our tree to honour your loved one’s memory. The light symbolises the enduring light of their memory in your heart.
Your dedication can be made to anyone, whether or not either of you have a connection to the hospice.
Who will be switching on the lights this year?
We have invited the Birchall and Sergeant family to officially switch on the lights this year.
The family said: “We are really excited to be switching on the lights on this year’s Christmas tree. It will be just over a year since we lost Mum, and she absolutely loved Christmas so it really will be so special for us. We are forever grateful to Willowbrook Hospice and will do all that we can to help fundraise so that others can also receive the care that we did.”
When is it happening?
Taking place on Saturday 14th December, everyone will be invited to gather from 3.30pm to purchase memory stars to hang on the tree and enjoy some refreshments. Around 3.50pm, we will invite you to gather around the tree. Our service will commence at 4pm and will include readings, Christmas music, choirs and time for reflection.
What is Light Up a Life for?
Suzanne Davies, the hospice’s Fundraising Manager, said: “Light Up A Life is a time for us to bring people together to remember our loved ones and reflect the loss we all feel, especially around Christmas time.
Light Up A Life helps to raise vital funds for the hospice and we would like to thank all of our supporters for their generous donations.”
Books of Honour
For your donation, your loved one’s name(s) will be entered into specially produced books of honour which will be available for you to view at our Light Up A Life service.
All donations received will help to fund the hospice’s medical and nursing services. Due to increased costs we will only be sending cards upon request. Pin badges will be available to purchase on the evening of the event or from any of our shops for £1.
Make your dedication here, to remember your loved one and help raise vital funds for Willowbrook Hospice.
Dedications must be sent by 29th November to be included in our books of honour.
If you have any queries please contact the Fundraising Team on 01744 453798 or email events@willowbrookhospice.org.uk.
We look forward to seeing on Saturday 14th December!

Cakes for Care
Introducing a new fundraising campaign for Willowbrook Hospice, whilst enjoying a cuppa is Cakes for Care.
This campaign will run all year round, with free resources to download, all you need is people and cake!
Whether this be a coffee morning, or an afternoon tea, we’d love for you to support us. There is no better excuse to get together over a coffee, or a slice of cake, than raising vital funds to go directly towards our patient care.
The great thing about hosting a Cakes for Care event is that it can be as simple or elaborate as you like and whether you raise £20 or £200, every penny counts. And all money raised from your events, stays local with your Hospice, so we can continue making a difference.
