Light Up A Life this Christmas at Rotherham Hospice

Light Up A Life 2022

Rotherham Hospice invites you to Light Up A Life

Christmas can be a difficult time when you have lost a loved one. Light Up A Life is a time to come together and remember the special people in your life who are no longer with us this festive season.
 

The Taylor family will be doing just that this December, in memory of their mum Lesley.

Siblings Bri, Charlotte and Daisy lost their beloved mother Lesley in January 2022. Charlotte explains:

“In December 2021 our mum, ma, momma was taken into Rotherham Hospice. The team there, from Gill on reception to Simone who cared for her, everyone involved looked after her with such care and kindness.”

Bri, Charlotte, Daisy and their friends and family are completing a year of fundraising for Rotherham Hospice. You can read all about the Taylor family’s exciting fundraising adventures here.

Charlotte said: “You don’t really know lucky you are to have such an amazing place on our doorstep until you need it. The staff were all so wonderful and kind with mum and with all the family.”

This December, Charlotte and her family will be joining Rotherham Hospice at our Light Up A Life Service of Remembrance. And you’re invited too.
