We were honoured to present a cheque to Mary Ann Evans Hospice last week following our annual Eternal Lights Christmas Memorial Service, held in December.

Once again, our community came together in remembrance, generosity and support, raising an incredible £7,230.22 for the hospice. This continued support plays a vital role in helping the hospice provide compassionate care and comfort to local families when they need it most.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who supported Eternal Lights and helped to raise this wonderful amount. Whatever way you took part, whether that was by attending, uploading a photo, donating, or supporting from afar. Every single person made a difference.

To see this event grow year on year, and to witness the kindness and love behind it, is truly humbling. Thank you for helping us honour lives, create lasting memories, and support such an important local cause. 🕊️💙
