Light up a Life is an opportunity to remember and celebrate our loved ones as a community, while also raising vital funds for St. Luke’s Hospice to help them continue caring for local people and their families.
Dedicate a song to someone special with the Light up a Life radio dedication show
Together with Gateway 97.8 and Basildon Hospital Radio 87.7, St. Luke’s Hospice is once again bringing you a special Light up a Life radio dedication programme on Sunday 19th December, 1pm-4pm. Tune in on FM, online at www.gateway978.com or on DAB.
As well as including songs dedicated to the memory of our loved ones, the programme will pause and invite listeners to light a candle to represent the lives of our loved ones and shine in homes across our local community. Please have your candle ready for this moment when you tune in.
Do you have a special song you would like to dedicate to a loved one? Please submit your song choice at www.stlukeshospice.com/light-up-a-life and your song could be selected to play live on the show.
Please keep fire safety at home in mind. Never leave lit candles unattended. Further home safety guidance can be found at www.essex-fire.gov.uk.
