Celebrate the memory of a loved one this Christmas and support the vital work of your local North Devon Hospice.

"Somewhere in the sky there is a star that radiates a haven of serenity, kindness, dignity, love, care, assurance and peace. On this earth there is a mirror image of that star, it is called ‘North Devon Hospice." Lin Bidwell, wife of a hospice patient

Christmas is a special and poignant time to remember loved ones who are no longer with us. Light Up A Life gives you the opportunity to remember someone special this Christmas. They do not have to have been cared for by the hospice for you to make a dedication.

In return for your donation:

- We will include your loved ones names in our special Light Up A Life Book of remembrance
- Hang a star on our Light Up A Life Christmas tree
- Send you a star to hang on your own Christmas tree
- Send you a special dedication card with your loved ones name on it

Please support our hospice nurses, doctors, therapists and counsellors who will continue to care for local patients and families in North Devon over the Christmas period. Make a difference to someone's life, someone local, this Christmas. Perhaps even a family member, a friend, a neighbour or a colleague.

There are also 18 Light Up a Life services taking place in venues across North Devon in the lead-up to Christmas. These are free and open to all to come along. 

How to get involved:

Online
You can donate online here. Please select '2017 Light Up a Life' as your reason for donation, and include the names of those you are remembering in the box marked 'Your Message'.
