Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation brings its Lights of Hope service back to Liverpool

St George’s Hall will host a special afternoon of remembrance this December as Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation brings its Lights of Hope service back to Liverpool.

The event takes place on Sunday 7 December, offering a chance for families and supporters to come together, reflect and honour those affected by lung cancer. Doors open at 1.30pm with the service running from 2pm to 3pm.

Guests arriving early can enjoy hot drinks, mince pies and time to gather with others before the hall fills with music from local choirs performing traditional hymns and festive favourites. The service will feature speakers sharing personal stories of love, courage and connection, creating a space for comfort and reflection at a meaningful time of year.

This year’s host is Liverpool actress Eithne Browne, known for her roles on stage and on screen, including Brookside and Coronation Street. Her involvement with the event is especially personal, as her mum was treated by the charity’s founder, Professor Ray Donnelly, giving her family precious extra time together.

Reflections from nurses, patients and members of the lung cancer community will form part of the programme, highlighting the strength and resilience of those living with the disease and those remembering loved ones.

Lights of Hope shines a spotlight on the impact of lung cancer while raising funds for early diagnosis, research and support services. Each light represents love and hope for a future with better outcomes and improved survival.

Tickets are free and can be booked online, with the option to make a donation. All are welcome to attend, whether personally affected by lung cancer or choosing to stand in support.
