Join us for The Compassionate Friends
all over the UK and worldwide
on Sunday 8th December at 7pm
The Annual Worldwide Candle Lighting gives bereaved families everywhere the opportunity for a time of quiet reflection and to remember their children, siblings and grandchildren
...so that their light may always shine...
If there is no organised event near you do join us on Sunday 8 December, 7 pm at home, with family/friends, or with a group of other bereaved parents or families, to light a candle for your beloved child or sibling - creating a continuous wave of light around the world as it moves from time zone to time zone.
(Please check back as we are adding events all the time).
