About
St Clare Hospice Light up a Life
Thursday 12th December at 7pm and Saturday 14th December at 4pm
St Clare Hospice, Hastingwood Road, Hastingwood
Light Up A Life is a very special annual event, full of the warmth and love that St Clare Hospice has been providing to local people’s lives for over 25 years. It is a chance to pause and remember the lives of our loved ones, in the company of others who understand.
Join us at St Clare to remember and celebrate the life of someone special
Light up a Life is our annual celebration of everything that St Clare stands for – joining together with families from across our community in honour of their loved ones. Candles are lit as we remember, with every shining light representing the life and memories of a loved one.
We will be holding two services here at the Hospice in Hastingwood, the first of which is on Thursday 12th December at 7pm and the second on Saturday 14th December at 4pm. Everyone, of all faiths and none, is welcome to attend these free services, not just those who have experienced St Clare’s support first-hand.
During the service there will be music performed by The Salvation Army and a local choir as well as festive readings and refreshments.
Browse our festive stalls and pick up an early stocking filler or two. Our stallholders will be set up in the hospice dining room for you to visit after the service.

By attending one of our special uplifting events this year, you will also be supporting St Clare to continue caring for local people facing life-limiting illnesses, or experiencing bereavement and loss.
All donations made alongside your Light up a Life dedications are gratefully received, helping to fund our care for local people who need us – supporting them to live well, and die with dignity.

Just like our care, participation in Light up a Life is free of charge. However, if you are able to make a donation alongside your personal dedication, it would be so appreciated by our patients and their families. With very limited funding from the NHS, St Clare relies so heavily on the support of people like you.
