Our annual Light Up a Life service, gives you the chance to remember your loved ones in a positive way, by celebrating the lives of those we love and miss. Everyone in our community is invited to remember someone in this special way, whether or not you have a connection to Dr Kershaw’s Hospice.

It is our pleasure to invite you to the Hospice for our service, where we can stand side by side with you as our Light Up a Life dedication tree is poignantly lit, to remember each person we have lost, and hold dear to our hearts.

Our 30-minute service will include readings and vocal performances, along with the switching on of our beautiful tree lights. Refreshments will be offered before and after the service and you will also be able to purchase our Light Up a Life baubles.

If you’re unable to attend in person, footage and photographs of the service will be shared on our Facebook and YouTube pages after the event.

To make your dedication visit: www.drkh.org.uk/LightUpaLife or call 0161 624 9984 or collect one of our Light Up a Life leaflets from our Hospice shops.

George Mills is fundraising for Dr Kershaw's with the help of his family by running, walking, indoor rowing and swimming 120 miles to mark what would have been his Golden Wedding Anniversary. His challenge runs until Christmas Eve and so far he has covered 27miles! His son, George Jnr ran the Manchester Half marathon last weekend, thanks and well done to him! Keep an eye out for George's next update. 🏃‍♂️

Sending good luck to Jody who takes on the Yorkshire 3 Peaks tomorrow, aiming to finish within 12 hours. We really appreciate Jody's fundraising efforts in memory of her late Nana Lilian. So far, Jody has raised an amazing £485! We are sure she'll smash it. 🥾

Tomorrow, Jeffrey and Elaine Longmore are holding a fundraiser to celebrate their 40th wedding anniversary! They have also asked people to donate to the Hospice instead of buying gifts. We send our biggest congratulations and thank you to them both for choosing to support us on their special milestone. Happy anniversary! 🍾
