As the festive season approaches, Weldmar Hospicecare is inviting you to remember a loved one who will be missed this Christmas in one of the charity’s annual Light up a Life services.

Dedicate a light in memory of someone special on one of the Light up a Life trees across Dorset. You’ll receive a Light up a Life pack which includes a wooden star to hang on one of the Light up a Life trees, or your own Christmas tree, a handwritten card, and a copy of the order of service.

The special services last around thirty minutes and are open to everyone, whether or not your loved one was cared for by Weldmar. You can dedicate a light on the Christmas trees that are the centerpiece of each service, which begins with the switching on of the lights and also includes readings, hymns, and time for reflection. The service in Lyme Regis will take place at The Town Mill on Thursday 27th November from 6pm. 

Other services will take place on different evenings in Bridport, Wareham, Blandford, Dorchester, Sherborne, Gillingham and Weymouth.

All donations made through Light up a Life help Weldmar to continue providing specialist care for people living with life limiting illnesses in Dorset, and support for their families and loved ones.
