Light up a Life 2008 Appeal Launch
When: Thursday 6th November 2008 - 5:15pm onwards
Where: Queens Arcade, CARDIFF
The ‘Light up a Life’ appeal will be launched on November 6th at 5.15pm at Queen’s Arcade, Cardiff (Queen Street Entrance). It will run until December 31st at Queen Street Arcade, Cardiff.
Light up a Life is a very special opportunity for those wishing to remember their loved ones who have passed away or who are suffering illnesses. It centres on our giant Christmas Tree in Queen’s Arcade, and our Book of Remembrance where commemorative messages can be written. Light up a Life offers a very special way to remember and celebrate loved ones you may have lost or those currently facing illness. By supporting Light Up a Life, you are also helping us to help others as all monies raised directly support our nursing and care services.
Light up a Life is a very special appeal and our Christmas Tree with its hundreds of lights- is a marvellous and inspirational sight. Your support throughout this appeal helps George Thomas Hospice Care to continue with its very special work. The launch of Light up a Life Christmas 2008 in Queen’s Arcade will begin with at 5.15pm, on Thursday 6th November with Soprano Alwyn Mellor who has played many roles all over the country and is due to play Tosca with Welsh National Opera, accompanying Alwyn will be Angela Livingstone.
