North West Hospice warmly invites everyone to join us for our annual Light up a Life event on Sunday, 7th December at 5:00 p.m. This cherished occasion will take place in our Garden of Memories at Cleveragh Park, Sligo, where we will light our Memory Tree to mark the beginning of the Christmas season. Open to all, Light up a Life offers a special opportunity to come together, remember, and celebrate the lives of loved ones during this meaningful time of year. The evening will feature beautiful local music and the gentle glow of candlelight, creating a reflective and comforting atmosphere for all who attend.
Olive McTague, CEO of North West Hospice, shared her thoughts on the significance of the event:“Light up a Life holds a very special place in our hearts at North West Hospice. The festive season can be a bittersweet time, filled with memories of those we miss. This evening gives us a chance to pause amid the Christmas rush — to reflect, remember, and feel connected through shared love and remembrance. We warmly invite everyone to join us once again in our Garden of Memories on Sunday, 7th December at 5 p.m., as we light our Memory Tree together in honour of those who will always shine in our hearts.”
The event offers a moment of reflection and unity, surrounded by music, light, and community spirit. The highlight of the evening will be the lighting of the Memory Tree, symbolising love, remembrance, and hope throughout the festive season.
Light up a Life is open to everyone who wishes to honour someone special, whether or not their loved one was cared for by North West Hospice.
The Memory Tree stands proudly in our Garden of Memories at Cleveragh Park, Sligo (opposite the Regional Sports Complex), where ample parking is available.
You can sponsor a light in memory of a loved one for €5 per light, which will shine throughout the Christmas season. Supporters are also invited to share a personal message or tribute in our Online Book of Treasured Memories.
