Fundraising
Light up a Life invites you to celebrate the people you love and miss by taking some time out at the busiest time of year to reflect and remember. Everyone is welcome to join in and remember someone in this special way, whether or not you have a connection to St Oswald’s Hospice.
We hope that taking part in Light up a Life will give bring you some peace and comfort this winter.
To say thank you for your kind donation to St Oswald’s Hospice, you’ll receive a personalised card bearing the name(s) of those who you are remembering, and a star decoration to hang on your own tree at home.
A light will also sparkle on our ‘Tree of lights’ outside the hospice, which will be switched on during our Light up a Life Celebration event.

Rob and Mary, both Newcastle United season ticket holders, met in a bar after a match in 1999. They were inseparable from that day on. The pair became engaged 4 years later and loved going to watch football and music gigs together.
Mary said: “We got on so well and liked being in each other’s company.”
