A virtual service for people to remember loved ones will be held next month by Hospice at Home West Cumbria.
For over 10 years, the charity has held Light up a Life services across the county but this year it will again hold an online service on December 12 at 10am.
The service will be available throughout the rest of December so people can watch it again if they wish. A limited number of DVDs will be produced for supporters who are unable to access the service online and these can be requested by contacting Hospice at Home West Cumbria directly.
Gemma Bell, from Hospice at Home West Cumbria said: “We know how important Light up a Life is for many people in our community and we hope that our virtual service provides some comfort to those who need it.
“We would like to thank everyone who has been involved and given their time to be part of this virtual service”.
The service will include readings from hospice staff and volunteers, choir performances from Seaton Junior School Choir, Victoria Junior School Choir, The Castlegate Singers and Phoenix Singers, with recordings also included from Whitehaven Male Voice Choir.
There will be moments of reflection and the switching on of the hospice Christmas tree lights to mark the dedications made in memory of loved ones.
Light up a Life dedications can be made via the In Memory page on the charity’s website or by requesting a dedication form. Visit www.hospiceathomewestcumbria.org.uk to make a dedication or email info@hhwc.org.uk to request a dedication form or DVD of the service
