Christmas is a special time of year, but for many who have lost a loved one, it can be a time with both sad and happy memories. In Lighting up a Life at Christmas, we hope that this time of reflection will bring comfort to you. 

​

We are pleased to invite you to join us again at Newark Castle on Thursday 20th December, where we will hold our Carols at the Castle service which will include Light up a Life. The evening will commence at 5pm. Our carols, readings, time for reflection and remembrance will begin at 6pm. 

​

We are also holding an additional service this year at Southwell Minster on Wednesday 5th December from 6.30pm. 

​

If you wish to Light up a Life and make a donation, please complete the form here and return to us. You can also send in your donation and dedication via our JustGiving campaign page here. Your message will then be entered and displayed in our Book of Remembrance from 1st December to twelfth night. 

​

We would like to invite everyone who donates to our appeal and attends the event, to bring a photograph of their loved one(s) along with a message to hang and display on our memory wall of light during our service*. 

​

If you would like us to send you a lantern, please tick the relevant box on the form. All donations of £5 and over will receive a special Light up a Life pink badge. In order to receive your lantern and pin in advance, and have your dedication included in the Book of Remembrance, we must receive your donation and dedications by 14th December at the latest.

​

*If you bring a photo, we recommend that if possible you laminate it or place it in a protective cover and that you collect it at the 
end of the evening.
