## This Christmas, the Martlets Hospice are inviting residents across Brighton & Hove to join them at a series of events to remember their loved ones.

**‘Light up a Life’ ceremonies are a wonderful way** to celebrate the lives of those who are no longer with us.

Christmas is often a difficult time for those who have lost loved ones and it can be comforting to join others who have been through a similar experience of loss and bereavement.

The events focus on remembrance, with readings, carol singing and refreshments afterwards.

**Claire Docteur, from the Martlets Hospice, said:** *“Light up a Life ceremonies are an opportunity to reflect and celebrate the lives of people we miss as we join in with carols and listen to readings. We also light candles as a symbol of remembrance and love.*

*“You don’t need to have a connection with the Martlets to attend Light up a Life. Everyone, of any age, is welcome to join us.”*

The Martlets are also inviting people to make a dedication for *Light up a Life,* which will be displayed in a Book of Remembrance throughout December in the Hospice’s Sanctuary.

**Claire continued:** *“We do ask you to make a donation with your dedication – whatever you can give will help us continue to care for future patients and their families. Your donation will help our patients throughout the year, not just at Christmas.*

*“Once we have received your dedication, you will be sent a Light up a Life card along with your tickets together with a Christmas Star which you are welcome to write your dedication message on. Your star will be hung on Christmas trees at the Light up a Life events.”*

**Tickets are still available for the following ceremonies:**

• Sunday, November 30, 3pm at the Clarendon Centre, New England Street, Brighton

• Friday, December 5, 7pm at the Church of the Good Shepard, Dyke Road, Brighton

• Sunday, December 14, 6pm at Hounsom Memorial United Reform Church, Nevill Avenue, Hove.
