Light up a Life
Light up a Life Ceremony 2026
You can watch our Light Up a Life Ceremony 2025 below.
The ceremony was filmed and live streamed at 4pm on Sunday 30 November 2025 at Michael Sobell House.
Our Light Up a Life ceremonies are non-denominational and include comforting words from our medical team, alongside special readings and beautiful songs. The ceremony culminates in the lighting of our tree, decorated with dedications in memory of those who are no longer with us.
Our next Light Up a Life Ceremony will take place on Sunday 6 December 2026.
Further details will be shared closer to the time, and we warmly invite you to join us then.

Why we need your support
As a charity only part funded by the NHS, every year we need to raise £2.4 million in voluntary income. It is only with the kindness of our supporters that we can be alongside our vibrant Hillingdon community at their time of need.Â
We know how important it is that people living alongside serious or terminal illness can access support that’s shaped around them, when and where they need it. Your donations allow us to keep our Hospice running every day, as well as go above and beyond for people experiencing the most vulnerable moments in their lives.
