St Margaret’s Hospice Care is inviting the whole of the county to come together to be part of this year’s Light up a Life remembrance event to be streamed from the Bishop’s Chapel in Wells.

The charity is also using the event to raise money at a time when income generation and fundraising has been deeply affected by the coronavirus pandemic.

Designed as a chance to reflect on lost loved ones and celebrate their lives, the online service will be filmed in the Bishop’s Chapel and streamed through the St Margaret’s website on Sunday, December 13 at 4pm.

There will be the opportunity to remember loved ones using a Memory Star that will be placed on Christmas trees in both hospices. Their names will be shown during the online Light up a Life service.

Any donations received will go directly towards the care and support St Margaret’s nurses, therapists and doctors provide for our patients and their families. A telephone counselling session, supporting someone who recently lost their own loved one, could be paid for with a donation of £30.
