Light up a Life

Light up a Life Ceremony 2026

Join us this December for our annual Light Up a Life Ceremony, a meaningful occasion to remember loved ones and celebrate the impact they had on our lives.

The ceremony is open to everyone and is non-denominational. It features reflections from our hospice team, special readings and music, ending with the lighting of our commemorative tree adorned with dedications to those who are no longer with us.

The 2026 Light Up a Life ceremonies will take place at both Michael Sobell House and Lansdowne House. The Michael Sobell House ceremonies will be held on Sunday 6 December 2026, with services at 4pm and 6pm. We are delighted to be returning to Lansdowne House this year, with further details, including the date and booking information, to be announced shortly.

Booking information will be available shortly. We look forward to welcoming you and your family.

Making a donation and leaving a dedication

If you would like to make a donation to Michael Sobell House or Harlington Hospice you can do so using the ‘make a donation’ button.

We invite local residents and our wider communities to ‘leave a dedication’ for a loved one. When a dedication is left you are able to share a message and upload a photo if you wish to do so.

Why we need your support

As a charity, although we work well with our local NHS teams, only about 50% of our costs are funded by the NHS. Every year we need to raise at least £2.1 million to keep our hospice services running. It is thanks to the generosity of our supporters that we can continue to stand alongside our vibrant Hillingdon community when they need us most.

We know how important it is for our patients, their families and loved ones to receive compassionate care and support that is tailored around their needs, in the place and at the time that is right for them. Every donation helps us provide that care each day, while also enabling us to go above and beyond for people and families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives.
