CHRISTMAS is traditionally a time when our thoughts turn to our families and friends and Nightingale House has a wonderful way of paying tribute to them.

The hospice is once again inviting people to celebrate the lives of their loved ones by dedicating a light in their honour, or in their memory, on the Tree of Celebration at Nightingale House.

The lights will be switched on at the annual 'Light up a Life' service at the hospice on Friday, December 3, at 7pm and everyone is invited to attend and gather round the tree.

For a donation to the hospice, a light will be dedicated to your special person and their name will be entered in the Book of Honour. You will also receive a 'Light up a Life' Christmas card or have one sent on your behalf.

Companies are also invited to dedicate a light on a special corporate Christmas tree. The trees will remain illuminated until Twelfth Night on January 6.

A new service will be held this year at St Collen's Church in Llangollen on Friday, December 10.

If you would like to 'Light up a Life' fill in the coupon below and send it to: Fundraising Office, Nightingale Hospice, 14 Chester Road, Wrexham LL11 2SJ, with your donation to arrive by Monday, November 22. If coupons are received after that date, the names will be entered in the Book of Honour later.
