Could fund two hours of care, giving families the chance to bring festive joy into their home.
Shine a light for a loved one this winter
Each twinkling light on the virtual trees is a memory of someone special.
By dedicating a light and making a donation, you will be remembering someone special while helping Treetops be there for another local family when they need us most. Your gift could help provide compassionate care at home, bereavement support for someone facing the winter months without the person they love, or practical and emotional support for families during one of the hardest times of their lives.
Join Emma and dedicate a light in memory of your loved one
Emma Barker is taking part in Treetops’ Light up a Life event in memory of her dad, Neil, who died from bowel cancer in 2022. Neil was a much-loved husband, dad and friend, known for his kindness, hard work and love of planes, trains, cars and “anything with an engine”. He touched the lives of many people, as Emma explains, “you only had to mention his name and everyone knew who he was.”
In Neil’s final days, our Hospice at Home nurses provided expert overnight care, giving Emma, her mum and younger brother precious time to rest, knowing he was being cared for with compassion and dignity.
Following his death, we continued to support Emma and her mum with bereavement counselling and complementary therapies, helping them process their grief and find a way forward.
For Emma, Light up a Life is a special way to honour her dad and celebrate the impact he had on those around him.
How your light can help families this winter
Could allow an urgent visit from a Treetops nurse, for families caring for a loved one at Christmas.
Could provide hospice nurses on Christmas Day, so families can be together for their last Christmas.
