A LIVING memorial to help the bereaved remember loved ones goes up in Newcastle next month.
The Tree of Lights will be set up in Newcastle Central Station. Families can sponsor a light on the giant evergreen over the Christmas period, with funds going to the city's St Oswald's Hospice charity.
Sponsors will receive a Christmas card inscribed with the name of their loved one. They will also be invited to a remembrance service at the station on Sunday, December 1, at 6pm.
Last year, the Tree of Lights raised more than £60,000 for St Oswald's Jigsaw Appeal.
Sponsoring a light costs a minimum donation of £5. All funds must be in by November 15.
For further details, contact St Oswald's fundraising department on 0870 7003030.
