Light up a Life event to take place virtually

Saturday, 4 December 2021 08:26

Hospice Isle of Man's Light up a Life service will now take place virtually.

The charity says it's due to the increase in Covid numbers and change in the Island's policies.

As a result, the remembrance service will now go live at 5pm on Sunday (5) on the Hospice IOM Facebook page, Youtube and website.

During the service, you're invited to switch on lights in remembrance, with Light up a Life tea lights available to collect from the Hospice building and shops.

The charity says they hope those involved feel some comfort knowing that many others will be lighting their lights at the same time across the Island.
