Chamber member Woodlands Hospice are appealing for people to help support them through their ‘Light Up A Life’ camapaign:

Christmas is a time for thinking about special people in our lives or remembering our loved ones.

Why not give thanks for the special people in your life, living or deceased, by dedicating a light on our Christmas Trees to them.  Your light/s can then shine out in the darkness, a symbol of your love for them.

If you dedicate a light or lights through our ‘Light up a Life’ celebration you are not only remembering someone you love but also helping us by giving a donation to the hospice.  Your support will help us to continue to deliver specialist palliative care to those suffering from a life threatening illness within your own community.

In this our special year when our new inpatient unit has opened we hope that more people will come on board to support our ‘Light up a Life’ initiative as we will need more lights to light up our Christmas Trees.

The financial pressures on the hospice to raise even more money now that the inpatient unit dream has become a reality are greater than ever to ensure the future stability of the hospice.   All money raised through our annual ‘Light up a Life’ initiative will go directly towards securing the overall services of the hospice including our new inpatient unit.  Care at Woodlands Hospice is provided free of charge and this extends to carers and family of patients as well as the patients themselves.

To make a donation and light up a life, please email carole.riley@woodlandshospice.org
