Light Up a Life 2026

Sunday 6th December 2026 | 5pm | St Kentigern Hospice

Christmas can be a time of treasured memories, but it can also be a time when we feel the absence of those we love most.

Our annual Light Up a Life gathering offers an opportunity to come together, reflect and remember someone special. Please join us at St Kentigern Hospice on Sunday 6th December at 5pm, as we honour the lives of loved ones and find comfort in shared remembrance.

Dedicate a light to someone you love

Dedicating a light is a meaningful way to remember a loved one this Christmas, while supporting the care St Kentigern Hospice provides for local patients and families.

Our online dedication page is now open, allowing you to leave a personal tribute to someone special.

Dedication information will also be included in our winter mailer, which will be arriving soon. If you prefer, you can make your dedication by completing and returning the enclosed slip.

Our Book of Remembrance

A Book of Remembrance will be open during the gathering for you to write a dedication and a personal message to a loved one. It is an opportunity to put your memories into words and remember someone who holds a special place in your heart.

Light Up a Life pin badges

Our Light Up a Life pin badges offer another way to keep the memory of someone special close this Christmas.

You can purchase yours directly at the hospice, or through our online shop, with delivery or click and collect from the hospice available.
