The Book of Dedications

 

Dedicate a Star to your loved one

For a donation of your choice, you will receive two beautiful stars, one to bring with you to the service and place on the Rotherham Hospice Christmas tree, and one to keep at home. If you are unable to attend any of the services, please send your stars to the Hospice and we will gladly display them on the tree for you.

All dedications received before the 4th December will be featured in the Rotherham Advertiser in the 14th December issue (with your permission), our Light Up a Life digital book at the Hospice and in the Light Up a Life remembrance video.

Your generous donations help us to continue our valuable work. We are incredibly grateful for any contribution you are able to make and everyone at the Hospice wishes you a peaceful festive season.
