The Rotary Club of Royal Leamington Spa has launched the 2017/2018 campaign this week and is encouraging people from in and around the two towns to make donations to the Myton Hospices and dedicate lights on its two giant Christmas trees outside Leamington town hall and St Margaret’s church in memory of loved ones.

The trees will shine throughout the Christmas period.

Brian Bassett, president of the Leamington Rotary Club, said: “Thanks to the generosity of so many local people, the Trees of Light have raised over £60,000 since their inception in 2001.

“This year we are pleased to be yet again supporting The Myton Hospices in their very important work for our community”.

All donations go straight to The Myton Hospices, located in Warwick, Coventry and Rugby, which last year supported more than 1,400 people and their families needing compassionate end of life care provided both within the hospices and through the Myton at Home service in the community.

The Whitnash tree will be switched on at a ceremony at St Margaret’s church on Saturday November 18 at 5.15pm.

The Leamington tree will be switched on at a ceremony outside the Town Hall on Sunday November 19 from 3.30pm.
