Light Up A Life is an opportunity for people to come together to reflect and remember those who will be missed this Christmas. 

The event will be held at the Triangle Shopping Centre in Frinton and is open from 3pm to enjoy refreshments and a selection of stalls. A remembrance will begin at 4pm with words of reflection and music from the Salvation Army Band, with a Christmas tree lighting around 5pm.

Jo Clarke, public fundraising manager at St Helena Hospice, said:

“We understand the festive season brings mixed emotions. It is important for those remembering a loved one to have a space to go through those emotions, and to celebrate their memory.

“While the event is free to attend, donations to St Helena Hospice would be gratefully received to help support people in the community who face incurable illness and bereavement.

“Our thanks go to Weeks Construction and the Hunnaball Family Funeral Group who have played a key role in ensuring we are able to run our Light Up A Life events this year.”
