This thoughtful gift is the perfect way to let someone know you are thinking of them or even a little light for yourself.
For every candle purchased, the proceeds are helping those facing incurable illness and bereavement in our community to receive the care and support they need, when they need it.
The candles are available on our website and are priced at £9.95.
Burning time of around 22 hours.
For optimum use, burn the candle until the wax has melted and pooled to the edge of the glass, approximately two hours minimum. Trim the wick between each use and allow the candle to solidify before re-lighting. Do not leave unattended or within reach of children or pets.
Your donation, large or small, can make a big difference, giving more local people dignity and choice at the end of life.

When you make a donation to St Helena Hospice, we are charged transactional fees by other companies, including fees for processing payments made to us, looking up addresses and validating bank account details.
We are very grateful to our donors who offer to offset some of these fees with a minor addition to their total amount. This is however completely optional and we are very grateful for your support whether or not you choose to contribute to processing fees.
CloseWe are able to claim an extra 25p on every £1 on your donation amount for no extra cost to you, as long as you are a UK tax payer; have paid enough income tax or capital gains tax in that tax year; and are donating your own money. If you pay less income tax and/or capital gains tax than the amount of Gift Aid claimed on all of your donations in that tax year it is your responsibility to pay any difference.
