University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity is inviting people across Dorset to come together to Light Up the Prom to honour and celebrate the lives of loved ones who are no longer with us.
The event, on Friday November 8th, aims to bring the community together for a candlelight service with music performed by a local choir and a fireworks display.
By donating to the charity in honour of their loved one, everyone signing up to attend the event will receive a complimentary LED candle to light at the ceremony.
Reverend James Taylor, University Hospitals Dorset’s lead chaplain, said: “Light up the Prom is a wonderful opportunity to gather with others and bring to life our memories of our dear ones who we love and miss, whether they died recently or long ago.
“Supporting the University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity helps patients and their families make the most of every precious moment with their loved ones.”
Light Up the Prom is sponsored by Coles Miller solicitors.
Managing partner Adrian Cormack said: “As solicitors and longstanding members of the community, we regularly help clients who’ve recently lost loved ones.
“We know how important Light Up the Prom is, how much comfort it brings to all those who take part and how it inspires those who are unable to attend to contribute to a cause that helps so many.
“We’re very proud to sponsor Light Up the Prom and highlight the excellent work done by the University Hospitals Dorset NHS Charity.”
