Light Up a Life 2024

Springhill Hospice invites you to dedicate a light on our tree and join others in remembering those exceptional people who have brought joy and light to your life.  What is Light up a Life? Light up a Life provides a chance for you to remember and celebrate the lives of your loved ones, by dedicating a light on our beautiful Hospice tree. Hundreds of lights will shine brightly, each in memory of those you love, turning our garden into a haven of light and hope. You can make a donation of your choice to dedicate your light in memory of your loved one. Each dedication will mean our patients and their loved ones will receive the care they need to make every moment count. You will receive a personalised card, displaying your loved one’s name, and a Light up a Life home pack including a dedication star which you can personalise with your own special memory. All dedications will appear in our Book of Lights which will be displayed virtually on our website. You can even send a photograph of your loved one to feature in our Celebration Video (you can do this at checkout - please note, cut off date to submit photos is Midnight 20th November 2024) For 2024, you will have two opportunities to join in with our Light up a Life celebrations: St Chads Church Service: Thursday 5th December - 7pm Springhill Hospice Celebration: Saturday 7th December - 4pm These events will include music, carols, readings and poems for you to reflect, remember and celebrate the memories of your loved ones.

Christmas Tree Collection

Rochdale

Springhill’s Christmas Tree Collection Service is back and the Hospice team will be out from Friday 10th – Monday 13th January 2023 to collect trees across the borough of Rochdale. For a minimum donation of £10 the team will collect your tree from outside your property.   From there your tree will be taken to the Hospice where it will be recycled and turned into chippings.  The chippings are then used for pathways and garden beds within the Hospice grounds. Before booking please ensure that you live in a property within the postcode areas listed below.  Please also be aware that we cannot stipulate an exact date that your tree will be picked up. There are lots of factors that can affect the tree collection service (not least the great British weather)!  Postcodes we will collect from: OL10, OL11, OL12, OL13, OL14, OL15,OL16, M24 You will need to leave your tree in an accessible place outside your property from 8am on Friday 10th January 2025. To enable us to plan the collection routes effectively the booking system will close at 12pm on Tuesday 7th January.  After this date we are unable to guarantee booking in your tree for collection.
