A statement from Cancer Relief Gibraltar follows below:

Cancer Relief Gibraltar is inviting the community to take part in its annual Glowing Memories campaign, which offers families, friends, colleagues, and carers a meaningful way to remember loved ones during the festive season.

The recorded Glowing Memories 2025 ceremony will take place at the Alameda Gardens Open Air Theatre and will be shared on Sunday 8th December at 7pm across Cancer Relief Gibraltar’s social media pages and website.

Recognising that Christmas can be a particularly difficult time for those who have lost someone dear, the campaign provides an opportunity to celebrate life and keep memories shining bright. Participants can dedicate a light-up jar in honour of their loved one, symbolising remembrance and connection throughout the Christmas period.

You’re welcome to leave a personal message for your loved one (up to 50 words) when you make your donation, along with their name. Each jar will be lovingly labelled, so everyone can see who it shines for, and your message will be read during our recorded ceremony.

Following the ceremony, all jars will be displayed on the Memory Wall in the Tranquillity Garden at the Cancer Relief Centre, where they will continue to glow throughout the festive season.

The minimum donation is £10, and all proceeds directly support the charity’s free services for anyone affected by cancer in Gibraltar

“Glowing Memories is a very special event that brings our community together in reflection and remembrance,” said Rowena Wallace, Fundraising Manager at Cancer Relief Gibraltar. “Each light represents love, loss, and remembrance - a way to honour those who continue to shine in our hearts.”
