We are holding services for people of all faiths and beliefs to come together and celebrate the lives of their friends and family.
All the services will be held on Sunday 25th November at 3.00pm
Our Light up a Life appeal offers you an opportunity to remember and celebrate the lives of loved ones who are no longer with us, but are always in our thoughts. People from all faiths and beliefs are invited to join us to remember a loved one, or to honour a friend, relative or colleague. Light up a Life is for everyone, not just those touched by hospice care.
This year we have introduced an online Book of Lights. You can remember someone special by uploading a dedication and a message for your loved ones.
Dedication cards are available from our hospice shops in Workington, Whitehaven and Cockermouth or you can request one by calling us on 01900 873173.
