Dedicate a light today
Light up a Life is back for 2024 - a time for us all to come together, remember and celebrate the lives of our loved ones

Join us this year in remembering those special to you by making a donation to Wakefield Hospice and dedicating a light on our Tree of Lights.

Each year Light up a Life helps to raise vital funds which enable us to keep our doors open throughout the festive period and into the New Year - we can't do what we do without the support of peoplle like you.

Make your dedication
Anyone can dedicate a light on our Tree of Lights - you do not need to have a connection to the hospice. All we ask is for a suggested minimum donation of £10 per dedication.

See your dedication on our virtual Light up a Life display
