Light Up a Life

The service is now fully booked, and no more tickets are being allocated.

if you missed out this year, we’ll be back next December and don’t forget to look out for our summer in-memory event, Sunflower Memories. 

The Light Up a Life event is free to attend to all.

However, donations toward the hospice are all greatly appreciated.

• At the service there will be envelopes on each seat and collection buckets in the foyer and Richmond Room. There will also be members of staff on hand with card machines.
• Or, donate quickly and securely online:

Light Up a Life is your chance to remember a loved one no longer with us, reflect on the joy they brought us and be thankful for the time we had together.

If you have remembered your loved ones through the Light Up a Life Appeal, or via online dedication, then their names will be included in the Remembrance Programme. The programme is the Order of Service for Light Up a Life.

Everyone is welcome to attend the event.

Your loved one doesn’t need to have been supported by St Barnabas House in order for you to attend.

Children are also very welcome, although, please bear in mind there are quiet times to reflect and remember so this service may not be appropriate for very young children.

Dogs are not able to attend – apart from assistance dogs (please get in touch if you’ll be bringing an assistance animal with you)

• The Light Up a Life service will be led by our Chaplain, Chris Gercke and is an opportunity to remember your loved ones. There will be moments of reflection, carols, lighting and dedicating of candles together.
• Plus performances from the Worthing Salvation Army Band and the Thomas ‘A Becket Infant School Choir.
• Our Patient and Family Services Team will be on hand if you’re upset or would like to talk to someone.
• You are more than welcome to stay after the service. There will be refreshments available and an opportunity to remember your loved one on Memory Wall, at past events people have chosen to leave a photograph, poem or message.

You can make an online dedication to a loved one. This could also include a photograph, a message to them, or how you feel.

Any dedications made before 15 November will be included in the Remembrance Programme.
