The Drighlington Band, who has recently become a registered charity itself has continued to help a charitable cause of their own at their local St Gemma’s Hospice in Leeds.

Light a Life

Recently they performed at the ‘Light a Life’ Service the Hospice for a 15th time, providing musical entertainment for staff, patients and families around the special Christmas Trees which stand in the grounds and which is lit by thousands of lights in memory of each individual who benefitted from the wonderful care provided by the Hospice in the last period of their lives.

The lights will remain lit until 6th January and can be viewed at any time.
