Light Up a Life - important news

6 Dec 2024

With storms forecast to bring strong winds and heavy rain over the weekend, we’ve taken advice and made the difficult decision to cancel this Sunday’s Light Up a Life service. With high winds predicted, it’s unfortunately the only sensible course of action. We know this is disappointing news, and for that we apologise, but the safety of our supporters is the most important priority.  The LOROS Memory Light Trail will also be closed on Saturday and Sunday this weekend.  

Unfortunately it will not be possible to reschedule the service due to other prior commitments. 

In order to allow everyone the opportunity to visit the hospice and take some precious moments to remember your loved ones, we are extending the LOROS Memory Light Trail by four days, from Monday 9th December through to Sunday 15th December 2024, from 4pm-7pm.  

The books of remembrance will be available to visit in the chapel during that time, and you’ll be able to light a candle in memory of your loved one as well. The Christmas tree lights will be lit. However, please don’t worry if you can’t visit next week, as the books of remembrance will remain in the chapel throughout December.  

Once again, we’re sorry for this disappointing news and hope you’ll still consider visiting the Light Trail when it reopens on Monday. 

Anyone wishing to make a donation in memory of a loved can still do so online at loros.co.uk/lual

If you’ve been at the Hospice recently you may have spotted Sir Stomp-a-lot sitting proudly in our woodland garden area. Wondering how he got there? There is a powerful story behind Sir Stomp-a-lot and his new home. Mary Knight bid for the coin-covered elephant in our Stomp Round Leicester Auction back in October and then donated him back to the Hospice in memory of her husband, Mark Warner.

In late November, four additional beds were opened on LOROS Hospice’s inpatient ward thanks to short-term winter pressures funding. Due to end in March, this funding has already enabled 17 patients to receive the specialist palliative care they urgently needed.
