Light Up A Life 2025

Event information

Join us at a Light Up A Life event this Christmas as we come together to remember and celebrate the memories of those we love and miss.  

If you're remembering someone special this festive season, we invite you to join us at one of our special Light Up A Life services in the Hospice garden this December and dedicate a light on our Christmas tree in memory of your loved one.

Services take place at 3.30pm or 5.30pm on Sunday 14th December and offer an opportunity to feel strength in commemorating together. Both events will include performances by a local choir, lighting of the Christmas tree and refreshments. Our spirituality lead Tim will lead us in a service of reflection and remembrance.

We've created an online space where you can upload photos and memories of the loved ones you will be remembering to be displayed at the events in a collective tribute.

Processing fees

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.

About Gift Aid

We 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. For more information about Gift Aid, please visit https://www.gov.uk/donating-to-charity/gift-aid
