Why every gift matters
Christmas can be the hardest time of year for someone living with a life-limiting illness, and for the people who love them. Our nurses, doctors and counsellors are there for them through it all, and your Christmas shopping helps keep them there. Here is some of what your support made possible last year.
Our care in 2025/26. Every service is free to patients and families, and donations from our community fund more than 60% of our annual budget.

Teacher gifts
Say thank you to a teacher, classroom assistant or carer with a gift of care in their honour. It’s a little different, and it makes the biggest difference. Parents can club together too.
Lights of Love
Christmas brings memories close. Our Lights of Love give you a gentle way to honour someone special, on our tree at the Hospice, online, or as a gift to someone who is missing them too.
Make a donation in honour of a loved one and we’ll post you a Lights of Love card and tag. If it’s a gift, we can send the card to a different address.
Dedicate a light
Write a message on your tag and return it to us. Tags hang with messages of love and care on the Christmas tree in our Inpatient Unit.
Get your tag
Choose a light on our virtual tree, leave a message of love or remembrance and add a photograph if you wish. Your light shines throughout the festive season and you can share it with family near and far.
Light up the tree
A small keepsake to wear for someone you are remembering. £2, available in person from our Fundraising Centre on Culmore Road, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Tree Lighting Ceremony · Thursday 17 December · 7pm
Every December we gather in the Hospice grounds to switch on the Lights of Love on our Christmas tree. Everyone is welcome, whether or not you have dedicated a light. Entry is free and there is no need to book.
This year, the Sharkey family will switch on the lights in memory of Adrian, a husband, father, grandad, teacher and carer who spent his life giving to others. We are honoured that they have chosen to share this moment with us.
