Light up a Life 2026 - The Shakespeare Hospice

Light up a Life

At Christmas, the absence of someone we love can feel especially poignant. Light up a Life offers a meaningful way to remember them, celebrate the life they lived and share the memories you hold dear.

You can dedicate a light in memory of anyone special to you, whether or not they received care from The Shakespeare Hospice.

Make your dedication

Complete the form on this page to add your loved one’s name, photograph and personal message to our virtual Light up a Life tree.

Dedications received by Monday 30 November will also be included in our Book of Remembrance. Names will appear exactly as entered, so please check the spelling carefully before submitting your dedication.

If you would prefer to donate by cheque, please call our Fundraising Team on 01789 333138 and we will send you a dedication form.

Join us on 6 December

You are warmly invited to gather with us at The Shakespeare Hospice for our outdoor Light up a Life service - an hour of carols, readings and quiet reflection beside our Christmas tree, followed by refreshments.

Full details can be found at https://www.theshakespearehospice.org.uk/support-us/light-up-a-life-2026.

Your donation in memory of someone special will also help The Shakespeare Hospice provide compassionate care and support for local people living with a life-limiting illness, and for those closest to them.

Thank you for helping their light continue to shine.
