As the festive season approaches, we recognise that this time of year can evoke a mix of emotions, especially for those who have lost loved ones. While the world around us may be celebrating, many of us are carrying the memories of those who are no longer with us.

You are warmly invited to join us for one of our annual Light Up a Life ceremonies, offering you an opportunity to reflect, remember, and celebrate the light your loved ones brought into your life. These special gatherings offer a comforting space for you to honour your loved one(s) and find solace in shared experiences and will include readings, music and the opportunity to hang a star on our Christmas tree in memory of your loved one.

There will be a service at Hull Minster on Wednesday 4th December at 7pm, followed by an additional service at 4pm on Saturday 7th December at Dove House Hospice.

When you remember your loved one as part of the appeal, you will receive a ceremony pack containing a commemorative keepsake – this will be available to collect at the event. If you are unable to attend, you are still welcome to participate by making a donation in your loved one's memory to receive the special keepsake pack which will be sent to you in the post and a star will be added to the tree in their memory. A recording of the service will also be available to watch on our Youtube channel in the weeks following the service.

To ensure that your loved ones name is included in our order of service, please ensure that your donation is received before 17th November 2024.
