Trees of Love 2024

Saturday 7 December 2024

This December, dedicate a dove to someone special and join us at our Trees of Love remembrance services at our Ashford, Canterbury and Thanet hospices.


The festive season can be such a joyous time filled with warmth and celebration, but it can also be the hardest time of year when you're missing someone. At Pilgrims Hospices, we open our hospices and our hearts to you and invite you to join us for Trees of Love 2024, the largest remembrance in east Kent.

Beautiful doves are dedicated in memory of your loved ones, which decorate the Trees of Love at venues across east Kent. Then, we welcome you to join us to watch as your doves are beautifully illuminated at one of our remembrance services, where you can enjoy carol singing and festive refreshments, and take time to pause and reflect with those who may be going through similar experiences.

Your dove dedications will decorate the Christmas trees throughout December, and will be available to view until early January 2025.

To take part in Trees of Love 2024, simply click here or contact our friendly Supporter Relations team on 01227 782 062 to dedicate a dove today.
