Each Christmas we light up the lights on the Loving Tree to remember our loved ones and to shine a light on those in our care
The Loving Tree stands at the entrance to Mary Potter Hospice and in December every year, it is lit up for 40 nights with thousands of twinkling lights as a symbol of love for those we wish to remember with love at Christmas.
You can give the most precious gift by dedicating a light on our Loving Tree. It is a beautiful way to celebrate the life of someone special at this time of year.
Not only will you shine a light on someone you love, but your gift will also support one of the many patients and families who will spend their Christmas in our care.
We would be so honoured to have your loved one remembered this year.
Dedicate a light
To dedicate a light on the Mary Potter Loving Tree, simply make a gift from your heart. We will add your loved ones name to our Loving Tree and send another heart with their name to you, to hang on your own tree at Christmas time.
Those who dedicated a light on or before Friday November 24 will have their loved one's name appear in our Lighting of the Loving Tree video honour roll and the carols concert booklet.
Dedications made after this date will still have a heart added to the Loving Tree, however won't be included in the video or booklet.
Click on the button below to dedicate a light or call us on 08 8239 0119.
