TREE OF LIGHT APPEAL ROTARY CLUB OF RUGBY
Tue, Nov 24th 2026 at 8:00 am - 10:00 am
You are invited to sponsor a light on the beautiful Christmas tree to be erected, once again, in front of St Andrew’s Parish Church in Rugby Town Centre.
The tree will be illuminated with hundreds of lights over the Christmas and New Year period to commemorate our 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 enters its 24th year of supporting this appeal and has raised over £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 takes place on Tuesday 24 November 2026.
We extend an invitation to you to sponsor a light in memory of your loved one with a gift of £5.00. Dedications will be displayed at The Tree of Light.
If you would like to sponsor a light(s) this year please complete the form overleaf and return it with your donation as soon as possible.
A special Tree of Light Memorial Service will be held at 7.00 pm on Tuesday
8th December in St Andrew’s Parish Church. All are welcome.
