MORE than 100 patients, volunteers and carers celebrated the work of a hospice at a special thanksgiving service on Saturday afternoon (Feb 2).
The Festival of Light Thanksgiving Service for Harlington Hospice, which was held at Christ Church in Redford Way, Uxbridge, was also attended by John McDonnell, Labour MP for Hayes and Harlington.
During the service, the congregation was invited to go to the front of the church and light a candle for a friend or loved one who had been helped by the service.
Bob Cornell, head of fundraising at the hospice, in St Peter's Way, Harlington, said: "It was an important moment for everyone involved in the hospice to stand back and reflect on the values that underpin our work and remember those who have passed away."
