Light up a Life appeal launches at St Ann’s

We here at St Ann’s Hospice have officially launched our 2024 Light up a Life appeal to remember loved ones who are no longer with us around the festive season.

St Ann's Hospice Light Up A Life

The Light up a Life appeal remembers loved ones through six beautiful, in-person ceremonies, while raising much needed funds for the hospice. The Light up a Life services will be held throughout the first week in December. 

There is also the opportunity to dedicate a light to someone in our online Winter Forest, while making an invaluable donation to St Ann’s Hospice, and have their name recorded in the 2024 Book of Honour. 

By joining the appeal, you can make a difference and help St Ann’s to continue to provide free care and support to those with life-limiting illnesses and their loved ones. Dedications can be made online in the Winter Forest, by phoning the Fundraising Team on 0161 498 3631, or via the form in our Light up a Life leaflet, which is available from our hospice and shops. 

When you dedicate a light online, you will be able to choose which service you would like to attend and how many places you would like. This year’s services are an opportunity to come together in reflection and celebration of the lives of loved ones.

As part of our 2024 Light up a Life appeal St Ann’s has commissioned a limited-edition bauble for you to hang on your tree.

These baubles can be purchased by clicking, here. All proceeds will go towards St Ann’s Hospice. 

The hospice is very grateful to Caddick Construction who sponsored this year’s Light Up a Life appeal. They are working with St Ann’s to build our new hospice at Heald Green and their continued support is very welcome.
