Remember someone special this December at Loughton Methodist Church, Essex
We would like to invite you, your family and friends to join us at this year’s Light up a Life service held in Loughton.
Light up a Life is our annual celebration of everything that St Clare stands for – joining together with families from across our community in honour of their loved ones. Candles are lit as we remember, with every shining light representing the life and memories of a loved one.
Everyone is welcome to attend, all all faiths and none, whether you have experienced St Clare’s care or not, and no matter how long ago your loss was.
Our Loughton event will be held at the Methodist Church on Saturday 25th November 2023 at 4.30pm. Car parking is available at Traps Hill and Smarts Lane car parks.
You will only need to register for the Light up a Life services at St Clare Hospice – if you want to attend a service held by a local church, such as Loughton, please just arrive on the day at the time listed.
Light up a Life stars, dedications and donations
If you’d like to request a Light up a Life star to put on your personal tree, dedicate names to the Book of Remembrance or make a donation to the hospice, please use the below booking form.
