Dedicate a light to someone special this Christmas

“At Christmas, many of us feel the absence of loved ones more deeply. Lights for Love offers us a moment to come together, to remember, and to honour those who remain forever in our hearts.

Each dedication, each light, and each star represents the love we carry with us always. It is a chance not only to celebrate precious memories but also to find comfort in the shared strength of our community.

Your support of Lights for Love helps ensure that The Wisdom Hospice can continue to provide compassionate care for patients and families when it is needed most. For this, we are truly grateful.

I warmly invite you to join us at one of our services this year and to take part in this special tribute to those we love and remember.”

With heartfelt thanks,

Making a Dedication

Every dedication we receive will be included in our Book of Remembrance and on our new online Wall of Remembrance. A special card will be sent to you for you to keep, along with a hospice star for you to hang on your tree at home or bring to a service.

Your donation will help us to continue to care for future patients and their families throughout the year, not just at Christmas.

Please note the deadline for dedications for our Book of Remembrance is Friday 14th November. After this, late entries will be inserted at the back of the book in the new year.

If you do not wish to make your dedication online and have not already received a Lights for Love form in the post, please download it (on the right) and either complete it digitally and email it back to us at info@wisdomhospicecharity.org.uk or print it out and post it to us:

Wisdom Hospice Charity - Lights for Love
High Bank, Rochester, Kent, ME1 2NU
