The Tree of Light will be lit at special services at Wakefield Hospice on December 7 and 8, and Wakefield Cathedral on December 9.

Money raised will help the hospice care for people with life-limiting illnesses over Christmas and through the following months. Last year the appeal raised £32,630 which helped pay for 1,305 hours of nursing care.
