Despite being overshadowed by Covid19 and a lockdown, the Rotary Club are determined to make a difference in the community. Money raised from this year’s Tree of Light will benefit The Malvern Link Dementia Meeting Centre, Acorns Children’s Hospice and St Richards Hospice, as well as many more local causes.
However, the main way which the Tree of Light helps the individuals of Malvern is when it comes to remembering loved ones who are no longer with us.
“The tree brings a focus and an opportunity to remember loved ones” said Rotary president, Chris Corrin. “It allows partners, wives, husbands, children and grandchildren to remember happier times, and many people pick out a light on the tree to represent their loved one.”
“We are pleased to confirm that the Switch on ceremony will be going ahead this year on Monday 29th November at 6pm and the The Chase Brass Band will again be playing Christmas Carols to bring some festive cheer. All are welcome.
The lights in Priory Park will be on from 29th November though to January 6th for people to enjoy as they walk though the park, remember a loved one and support the local community at the same time.
There will also be a rolling display of all of the lives remembered on a large screen inside the theatre and the names will also be printed in the christmas edition of the Malvern Gazette
If you would like to commemorate a loved one , please complete the form attached and send with a cheque (suggested minimum £5) to the address shown. Online payment are also accepted
