Organisers of the Rhos-on-Sea Tree of Lights have once again been taken back by the generosity and support of local people and families.
The Tree which sits proudly on the Cayley Promenade has been a feature of local Christmas life for many years and was recently decked out with new lights thanks to the support of the Gwynt-y-Mor and Rhyl Flats community funds.
The project this year has been overseen by many volunteers from the Colwyn Rotary Club including organiser David Owen. He visited Bayside Radio a few weeks ago to tell the station about how they support St. David's Hospice and all of the preperation that goes into making sure the event is a memorable one for all the families touched by the loss of a loved one at Christmas.
This year over £21,000 has been raised for the charity and since the Tree of Lights was switched on for the first time over 20 years ago, the project has raised well over a quarter of a million pounds.
Remember your loved ones this Christmas time by dedicating a light on the St David’s Hospice Tree of Lights.
At St David’s Hospice, we understand the joys that Christmas can bring, as well as the challenges that families face at this time of year as we naturally reflect and think of those who are no longer with us.
For a small donation, you are invited to dedicate a light on one of the four Hospice’s Tree of Lights to remember a loved one and support the work of the Hospice at the same time.
For each light purchased, a Tree of Lights card will be sent to you by post. Your loved ones’ names will also be entered into a special ‘Book of Lights’ which will be available to view throughout 2020.
