Light Up a Life 2024

When you are missing someone who has played a starring role in your life, autumn’s darker evenings and the approach of the festive season can be especially difficult.

As you know, at St Luke’s, we are here to support terminally ill patients and their families who will be spending their final Christmas together, as well as those facing their first Christmas without a dear loved one.

The one thing we never forget is that people are not just their illnesses – their illness is something that happens to them. With that in mind, we make sure we focus on the entire life of each individual patient and what matters most to them and their family members.

We do our best to provide the support that allows them to enjoy and make the very most of the time they have left together. And later, we carry on being there for those left behind as they cope with the pain of loss.

Make a difference this Christmas

At Christmas, it’s often the little things that make the most difference, and with your help a family can bring forward their festive celebrations so they can create precious memories with their loved one. Your support can ensure the right equipment is in place so a patient can spend Christmas Day at home, that Christmas dinner will be on the menu and that children in the family have special gifts to open.

Your donation would enable us to listen to the worries, fears and memories of someone who is newly bereaved, in confidence and without judgement, over a cup of tea and a mince pie, finding them proper advice if they are struggling financially, or introducing them to a support group where like-minded people understand what they are going through.

Ultimately, we’ll do whatever it takes to try and ease distress and make things a little bit better for those we care for, no matter what time of year it is.

Kindly supported by

Remember your shining star

For St Luke’s to continue providing support to families facing terminal illness and bereavement in your community, you are invited to write a message and make a donation as part of our Light Up a Life appeal in memory of your loved one.

You can use the button below to create a virtual dedication to your loved one with a shining star or Christmas tree light, while supporting our vital care in the Plymouth community. Alternatively, if you received our annual Light Up a Life letter, you can make your donation online here as well.
