Rugby Tree of Light is ready to shine again in memory of lost loved ones

People are invited to own a light outside St Andrew’s Parish Church in the town centre to raise money for Myton Hospice.

The tree will be illuminated with hundreds of lights over the Christmas and New Year period to commemorate friends, relatives and loved ones who are no longer with us.

Having a way to remember them and keep their memories alive at Christmas is so important.

Sponsorship and donations matter more than ever this year to help continue the work of The Myton Hospices.

The Rotary Club of Rugby has supported the appeal for 24 years and has raised more than £108,000 to date.

The Mayor’s Christmas Tree at St Andrew’s Church will again be the focal point for the appeal.

Along with the Town’s Christmas lights, the tree’s lights will be switched on at the same time.

The launch will take place at the church on Tuesday November 24.

We extend an invitation to you to sponsor a light in memory of your loved one with a gift of £5.

Dedications will be displayed at The Tree of Light.

If you would like to sponsor a light(s) this year complete a form and return it with your donation as soon as possible.

Forms are available from the Rugby Central shopping centre, Blackham’s Opticians, St Andrew’s Church and other churches as well as the Rotary Club of Rugby’s website.

A special Tree of Light Memorial Service will be held at St Andrew’s on Tuesday December 8 from 7pm.

All are welcome.
