Remember someone special as you Light Up A Life this Christmas
At Farleigh Hospice, we understand that Christmas can be a difficult and emotional time if someone that you care for has died.
You are invited to our Light Up A Life services - a thoughtful way to remember and celebrate the lives of those special people who are no longer here with us. Everyone is very welcome, so please join us at your local service.

Catherine and Jim’s story
When Jim’s mum, Catherine, became ill, Farleigh Hospice’s care and support greatly improved her quality of life so she had more time to see her family grow up.
Jim said. "Mum's nurse arranged for her to visit the Inpatient Unit at Farleigh Hospice. Straightaway, Mum felt at ease there because she could see the excellent quality of Farleigh’s end of life care. The hospice also offered her help to improve her quality of life, including symptom management, physiotherapy and patient support groups. Farleigh’s care gave Mum a renewed sense of purpose.
