Remember a loved one this Christmas

Forest Holme Hospice’s annual Light up a Life event comes to the heart of our community at St James’ Church, Poole on Saturday 5th December at 4pm.

Light up a Life provides a special opportunity to come together in the run up to the festive season and reflect on the cherished memories we’ve shared with our loved ones.

The service will include the lighting of candles, a moment of togetherness, choir led carols and readings.

Complimentary mulled wine and mince pies will be served following the service.

We are delighted to offer exclusive Light Up a Life keepsake tree decorations as a special way to remember your loved ones. A limited number will be available to collect at the service. You can see an image of the decoration below.

Please join us for our free event. Donations to Forest Holme Hospice Charity are gratefully appreciated.

Everyone is welcome, no connection to Forest Holme needed. 

No need to book! Just save the date. We look forward to seeing you there.
