LIGHT
UP A LIFE
At Christmas time many of us wish to remember
loved ones in a very positive way. Light up a Life
is a special event where donors may like to make a
dedication in memory of a loved one, a special friend
or indeed to mark a special occasion. In return for
your donation, you will receive a personalised card
and each dedication will be celebrated during a non-denominational
service, accompanied by joyful Christmas Carols, a
brass band and local choir.
