Remember a loved one this winter
Shine a light on the memory of your loved one
We invite you to join us for our annual moment of reflection and remembrance: Light Up a Life. This special time of year is a chance for us all to remember our loved ones in a meaningful way, by giving in their memory.
Your dedication will help fund vital end-of-life care, so that our nurses can be a light in someone’s life when they need it most.
When you donate in memory of your loved one, you can dedicate a star on our virtual night sky among the stars. Each star will shine bright as a tribute to someone special.
This year you can also choose to have a special memory lantern. You can light yours at home or join us at our annual Light Up a Life event.
Donate in memory today
Your donation will not only shine a light on the memory of your loved one, but will also light up the lives of those we will be caring for this winter. A donation of any size can truly make a difference to a family facing the toughest of times.
You're invited!

David and Charlotte’s story
David will be supporting Light Up a Life for the first time this year in memory of his wife Charlotte.
Charlotte and David were happily married for 25 years. After battling several health issues, Charlotte received the devastating news that she had a cancerous brain tumour and was given just months to live. As Charlotte’s health declined, she needed more care and was brought to her favourite place in the world – home.
David said “Nottinghamshire Hospice nurses were a lifeline for me. It was not long before they knew the sound of my voice when they answered my call in the middle of the night, and came without question to help make Charlotte comfortable.”
