Working closely with you, our colleagues within partner organisations, we want to ensure that the very best care is available to everyone facing the end of life. This is why we provide education and development opportunities, all of which aim to encourage learning and build confidence in end of life care and support.
Prospect Hospice invites the community to join its annual Light Up a Life remembrance service, honouring and celebrating the lives of loved ones who are no longer with us.
Last December, Pippa’s husband, Tom, passed away after a battle with bowel cancer. Reflecting on the care provided by Prospect Hospice, Pippa shared, “The team from Prospect Hospice were like a light in the darkness. Tom wanted us to spend our last precious moments together as a family, and thanks to Prospect Hospice, we could.”
This year’s service will be held on Sunday 8 December at 4pm at the hospice in Wroughton. It offers a special opportunity for families like Pippa’s to gather, share memories, and light a candle in remembrance. The event will feature heartfelt readings, musical performances, a candle-lighting ceremony, and a remembrance tree for personal dedications. Attendees will also have time for reflection and connection over refreshments.
As the festive season approaches, this service provides a comforting space for those feeling the absence of a loved one. By dedicating a light, you can help support families facing similar journeys this Christmas.
