Our annual Light up a Life appeal is a beautiful opportunity to remember and celebrate the life of someone special to you. By dedicating a light on our Hospice tree or out in the community, you're creating a heartfelt tribute that shines brightly for all to see.

You’ll also have the option to receive our 2025 Light up a Life limited edition keepsake. This year, we have chosen a robin design as they are often seen as a comforting presence, offering a sense of closeness to those who are no longer with us.

Your dedication is also a vital gift to your local hospice, helping us to provide compassionate, expert care to local families when they need it most.

Dedicate a light today and help your friend or loved one's memory shine: www.stmichaelshospice.org.uk/dedicate-a-light-to-someone-special/

The compassionate, expert care we provide at St. Michael's Hospice is a lifeline for so many, but it comes at a significant cost.

It takes £3,863 to run our Inpatient Unit (IPU) for a single day. That daily cost funds specialist nursing, medical attention, and emotional support for patients and their loved ones in the most vulnerable time of their lives.

Your generosity directly helps us meet this enormous challenge. By donating, you ensure that high-quality, free care is always available in our community, now and in the future.
