Heart of Kent Hospice will be holding a beautiful service of remembrance and reflection at The Friars, Aylesford Priory on Sunday 8 December at 4:30pm.
‘Light up a Life’ brings everyone together to remember those we have lost who were dear to us. Everyone attending can light a candle and dedicate a star in memory of a loved one whilst supporting the Hospice.
In Memory & Regular Giving Manager Miranda Gibbs said: “At the service, knowing you are in the company of others who are also remembering their loved ones can be a real comfort. We encourage people who do not wish to come on their own to bring along friends and family. Everyone is welcome and the programme of uplifting music from Maidstone Voices and Maidstone Choral Union choirs and the poignant readings are sure to touch the hearts of everybody who attends.
“By choosing to remember the life of your loved one as part of our ‘Light up a Life Appeal’ you are helping the Hospice to continue to care for patients and their families in your local community this Christmas.”

About Heart of Kent Hospice
Heart of Kent Hospice has been providing free, compassionate, end-of-life care to people living with a terminal illness and their loved ones in Maidstone, Aylesford, Tonbridge and Malling and the surrounding towns and villages for the past 33 years.
The Hospice has built an excellent reputation within the local community for the quality of its care, which has been further endorsed by the Care Quality Commission who awarded us with an overall rating of ‘Outstanding’ following an inspection in February 2017.
Our vision is for everyone living with a terminal illness in our community to achieve the best quality of life. We are committed to achieving this by enabling them to live in comfort, with independence and dignity to the end of their lives, and to support those closest to them.
Last year the Hospice cared for over 2,000 patients and their families in their own homes or at our Aylesford-based Hospice. Our charity needs to raise £6.6 million to deliver all the Hospices services, and we depend heavily on our loyal community of supporters, whose generous donations and fundraising activities raise money for us every year.
