Hospice at Home West Cumbria are inviting people in the local community to come together to remember loved ones at one of their Light up a Life services this November.

This year, services will be held on Sunday, November 30, at 2pm at the following locations: 

• St Michael’s Church, Workington, CA14 2EZ

• St Mary’s Church, Gosforth, CA20 1AZ

The Light up a Life services will include readings, choir performances, moments of reflection, and moving prayers.

Rebecca Clifford, Engagement and Data Co-ordinator for Hospice at Home West Cumbria, said: “Light up a Life has been an important part of our hospice calendar for many years, and we hope that our services will continue to bring people together from all walks of life to remember their loved ones, whether we have supported them or otherwise.

“We hope to see you at one of our services this November, and that this will provide a sense of comfort to those who seek it.”

The lights on the hospice Christmas tree will be switched on during the service in memory of all the loved ones who have had a light dedicated in their memory, and the charity will also invite attendees to switch on their own candle, which will be available at the service, during this moment of reflection.

If you would like to dedicate a light to your loved one at the Light up a Life services, you can visit the charity’s website here and create your personal dedication.
