Lights of Love fund local charities
Warwick Rotary President Jon Wassall has made donations of £1,000 each to The Mayors Charities and Myton Hospices following this year’s Lights of Love on the Christmas Tree in Warwick Market Square
Seen here with Warwick Mayor Cllr Jackie D’Arcy and Louise Careless, Community Fundraiser at The Myton Hospices, the money was raised by people putting a card to remember those we have lost on the Christmas tree. Pretty cards were made up by staff in Warwick Tourist Office, and a carol service of dedication held before Christmas.
The Mayors charities this year are SOS “Silence of Suicide” and “Women Stepping Out”. The Myton Hospices have to raise £12.7 million of the £15.3 million it costs to continue providing our services free of charge to our patients and their loved ones.
They have a wide programme of fund-raising over the next few months, - from the annual Cycle Challenge to Walk for Myton, skydiving or abseiling and their charity shops and they would ask everyone to take a look at their website: www.mytonhospice.org/support and see how you can help.
