Celebrate a Life
Name a star for someone special this December and join thousands of other gold stars displayed outside our hospitals in Chelsea and Sutton.
A star for a star
Celebrate a Life is a special occasion for our patients, their loved ones, our supporters and staff. It’s a time when we celebrate everyone dear to us.
Every December, thousands of gold stars are displayed on the Christmas trees outside our hospitals in Chelsea and Sutton, each one with the name of someone special handwritten in the centre.
Your named star will appear on one of our two Christmas trees and you will receive a 2019 gold star lapel badge to give as a gift, or to wear in recognition of someone special.
Every star you name will help us continue to make a vital difference to the lives of cancer patients by ensuring our nurses, doctors and research teams can provide the very best care and develop life-saving treatments used across the UK and around the world.

"Celebrate a Life is a special way for my son to be remembered. I look out at night and tell my little boy Joe that Jake is the brightest star looking back."
