johntaylorhospice.org.uk/LUAL

Christmas can be such a special time for friends and families but it is even more poignant for those who have been affected by terminal illness. We warmly invite you to dedicate a light on the Tree of Lights in celebration or in memory of a loved one and to take some special time to remember them at this year’s Light up a Life on Friday 6 December at 6.30pm at Harvest Fields Centre, Sutton Coldfield B75 5TJ. The evening will feature music and readings before we illuminate our sparkling Christmas tree with each light symbolising those we hold dear in our hearts. Your dedication will appear in the Book of Lights which will be on display at the event and you will also receive a special celebration card and star to display at home.It is only thanks to the kindness and generosity of people like you that every day hundreds of local families can receive the care and support they need. So, by dedicating a light and making a donation, you are also lighting up the lives of others - helping to ensure these vital services are available for people 365 days a year.Let your loved one’s light shine brightly this Christmas and all year round by completing the form in this leaflet or by visiting our website johntaylorhospice.org.uk/LUAL
