Light up a Life at St Gemma’s
We invite you to join us at St Gemma’s Hospice for our Light up a Life event. Join us for poems and songs, and be with us as we light up the trees at the Hospice.
Our event is a time for all the St Gemma’s community to come together and remember their loved ones. Listen to songs performed by the St Gemma’s Choir and the children of local primary schools, along with poems read aloud to bring everyone together as we celebrate the lives of those we have lost.
Before the ceremony please come and join us for a hot drink and mince pie in the warmth of the Hospice
