160 Christmas parcels, funded by Islanders donations on our Flag Day in November, have been delivered to families in need.
More than 500 presents, donated by islanders, for disadvantaged children to open on Christmas Day have now been distributed. Islanders picked up a tag from local businesses, purchased the gift and then returned it so that it can be distributed to the agencies and schools.
The 'Tree of Joy' campaign has now been running in the Bailiwick for 28 years and 14,500 Guernsey children have received a present on Christmas Day when perhaps they would otherwise not have done.
None of this would be possible without the generosity of the people of Guernsey
who have supported us in these difficult times. Equally, we are very appreciative of the support given by our 'Tree of Joy' Sponsors & Supporters namely:
Sponsors
Butterfield Bank
International Energy Group
PwC
Supporters
Charles Vaudin Tree Surgery
Island Electrics
Marine and General Engineers
Stan Brouard
On behalf of The Rotary Club of Guernsey and the Inner Wheel Club of Guernsey thank you all for your support and we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.
