St Michael’s Hospice will host its annual Light up a Life Services on Sunday, December 6, offering families and friends the opportunity to honour those they have lost, whether or not they were cared for by the hospice.
The event features music, readings and candlelight moments of reflection.

Rachael, St Michael’s Hospice supporter and Light up a Life attendee, said: "Light up a Life has become such an important part of our family Christmas.
"It gives us the opportunity to remember Mum and celebrate her life, while spending time together as a family.
"It is also comforting to be surrounded by others who understand what it is like to experience loss.
"Being able to support the hospice at the same time makes the occasion even more meaningful."
The hospice relies on community support to fund its services, needing £15,000 each day to continue providing care.
This year’s services will take place at St Joseph’s Church, 171A St Michael’s Road, Basingstoke, with ceremonies at 3pm and 6.30pm.
Dedications can be made in memory of loved ones, helping to support the hospice’s work across North Hampshire.
