You are invited to celebrate the memory of your loved one this December, and support local people for whom this may be their last Christmas.

"This year I lost my best friend, my Grandad Jack. He received so much love and care from so many at North Devon Hospice. We know that they will always be there for us, and that's an incredible feeling. Please join us and Light Up a Life for someone you love this Christmas. By doing so it will mean that other local people can also be supported with love and compassion at the end of their life." Katie, from Bideford

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 their honour.

In return for your donation you will get:

- Your loved ones' names included in the special Light Up A Life Book of remembrance
- A star with their name hung on the Light Up A Life Christmas tree at North Devon Hospice
- A special dedication card sent to you in the post with your loved ones name on it, to display on your mantle piece or Christmas tree

Your donation will also make a difference to local people who may be facing their last Christmas. However, thanks to your support, they can enjoy Christmas with the warmth and comfort that hospice care offers, knowing their own loved ones will be supported in the future too. Please help to support those in you community, maybe your neighbour, colleague, friend or family member.

You are also invited to the special Light Up a Life services taking place across the community in the lead-up to Christmas. You can come together with others who are missing someone special during the festive period, to light a candle in memory of your loved ones, and take strength from the unity of togetherness. Services are free and open to all to come along.
