CancerCare 'Lights to Remember'

Local Cancer and Bereavement Charity Holds Unique Remembrance Event For The Public

A local charity who helps people affected by cancer and bereavement is inviting people to pay tribute to lost loved ones at a special remembrance event.

CancerCare North Lancashire and South Cumbria are hosting ‘Lights to Remember’ on Friday 25th April 2025 from 7pm at their Slynedales Centre in Lancaster. The grounds around the historic building, where many clients receive support after a cancer diagnosis or after losing a loved one, will be lit up with personalised candles bearing a name and a message.

The evening will have opportunities for reflection as well as contemplative live music. A team of CancerCare therapists will also be in attendance on the night should attendees feel the need to talk to someone.

‘Lights to Remember’ is kindly sponsored by Birchall Blackburn Law for the second time. Last year’s event was titled ‘Lights on the Lawn’ and it was rebranded for 2025 to encourage people who might not be able to attend the evening to use the charity’s online dedication wall. Here you can leave a photograph and a lasting message to a lost loved one, and the CancerCare team can place your light for you on the night.

‘Lights to Remember’ is for everyone who has experienced loss, not just those who have used CancerCare’s services. The event is free to attend, though there is an option to donate to CancerCare so they can continue to support children and adults affected by cancer or bereavement.

Eleanor Sweeney from Caton attended ‘Lights on the Lawn’ last year. Eleanor’s late husband Peter was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2019. Peter was supported by CancerCare’s Lancaster Centre via one-to-one counselling prior to 2020, continuing his sessions over the phone during the Coronavirus pandemic. Peter sadly died in May 2023.

Let’s Swap Together for the Good of Our Community!

The Climate Coalition’s ‘Great Big Green Week’ is taking place from 7th to 15th June 2025, and this year’s theme is “Let’s Swap Together for Good.”

Here in Arnside, local groups, organisations, and individuals are coming together to celebrate. Sustainable Arnside and The Women’s Institute are leading the way, with a range of exciting community events planned. Keep an eye out for more details!

What is the Great Big Green Week?

Across the UK, over one million people will take part by making swaps—big or small! These could be swapping clothes, plants, books, or even changing habits to help protect nature and fight climate change.

How Can You Get Involved?

We can all make changes, whether it’s swapping old items, choosing more sustainable options, or taking action to show we want a better future for our community and planet. This is also a chance to send a clear message to decision-makers that we want positive change for future generations. We welcome support, contributions, exhibitions, and volunteers! So, if you’d like to help, get in touch on the contact details below.

More Information Coming Soon!
