Shrewsbury’s traditional Tree of Light, now in its third decade, has so far raised £4,300 in memorial donations and its organisers, our Rotary Club, are confident the final figure will be around the £5,000 mark.
“If this proves correct, it is about the same amount as donated last year which is an excellent result,” said club secretary Gareth Watkins. “This is particularly special, when considering the ongoing cost of living crisis. The Tree of Light’s success is entirely down to the generosity of all our wonderful donors who continue to support us – and our Rotary Tree of Light – year on year.”
He added: “In the New Year this considerable sum of money will be put to good use supporting many local charities and communities.”
