As we roll into the colder months, A Celebration of Life 2023 is just around the corner. A Celebration of Life is our annual event to remember and celebrate those lost to drugs and alcohol. We cordially invite anyone affected by the loss of someone close to them through drugs or alcohol to come along and share an evening reflecting and celebrating the lives of those who have left us too soon.
There will be performances from the Gasworks Singers alongside Rising Voices, BDP’s recovery choir, words of remembrance from our hosting panel and the chance for people to contribute their own words or songs of remembrance for those they have lost.
The event is on Saturday, 25th November and will be held at St James’ Priory as it has been in previous years. Doors will open at 15:30, with the event starting at 16:00 and lasting for an hour. Refreshments and hot mince pies in the Priory’s cafe will be served afterwards.
We are looking for people who might be moved to share something as part of the programme. This could be anything from a poem, a short story, an anecdote you feel is pertinent, or simply a photograph of your loved one to include in the memorial presentation. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, please email George Herbert at George.Herbert@bdp.org.uk.
Tickets are completely free and available from Eventbrite – https://CelebrationofLife2023.eventbrite.co.uk or via the checkout below. Alternatively, you’re very welcome to show up on the day. Don’t worry about printing off your ticket, as we will have a list of names on the night.
