Remember a loved one with a light on the Treetops Light up a Life Tree.

It is simple to dedicate a light

  • Visit our virtual Christmas Tree
  • Choose your light
  • Upload a photograph with your dedication.

Once you have done this, you and your family can see the tree at any time from anywhere.

You and your family do not need to have received care from the hospice to be able to have a light.


You can have more than one light and choose the value of your donation, knowing it will help Treetops to care for people across Derbyshire.

Light up a Light

Join Jules who is lighting a light for her son Alex. Dedicating a light to her son Alex at Christmas is one way Jules remembers her son at this time of year. Its part of her Christmas and their connection.

“It’s been 20 years since my son Alex died. Yet he’s still a part of my life. In fact, losing Alex is what bought me to Treetops Hospice as a counsellor. I wanted to use my experience to help other through their own grief.

Dedicating a light to Alex is one way I remember my son at this time of year. Its part of my Christmas and our connection.”
