REMEMBER LOVED ONES: Charity Sue Ryder is inviting people to come together for its annual event this December
National palliative care and bereavement support charity Sue Ryder is inviting people from across Leeds and the surrounding area to come together for its annual “Celebrate a Life” remembrance event this December.
The gathering will take place at Leeds City Museum, Millennium Square, at 2pm on Sunday, December 7, and is open to everyone — not just those whose loved ones were cared for by the charity, which runs Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice in Headingley.
Laura Hill, part of the team at Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice helping to organise the event, said: “Sue Ryder Celebrate a Life Leeds offers a safe, warm and supportive space to come together with friends and family, to join others who are also living with loss, celebrate the lives of those who have meant so much to us, and reflect on special memories.
“We know that grief stays with us as we move through life, and it can feel lonely at times. Coming together with the Sue Ryder community to remember someone special can bring comfort and connection, because we believe no one deserves to grieve alone.”
During the event, attendees will be invited to write a personal dedication to someone special and add their loved one’s name to a dedication screen.
The service will also include readings and live music, offering a chance for quiet reflection and shared remembrance.
Spaces are limited, and those wishing to attend are asked to register in advance at sueryder.org/RememberLeeds, by emailing wheatfields.fundraising@sueryder.org, or calling 0113 203 3340 for more information.
Sue Ryder provides free grief support to help people learn to live with loss. For more information, visit sueryder.org/Grief.
