Tree of Light 2024
Malvern Rotary Club again raises over £10,000 for local good causes through it's Tree of Light campaign.
Malvern Rotary Club are determined to make a difference in the community and the annual Tree of Light has been part of that for over 20 years. Money raised from this year’s Tree of Light will benefit Acorns Children’s Hospice and St Richard's Hospice, as well as many more local causes.
However, the main way which the Tree of Light helps the individuals of Malvern is when it comes to remembering loved ones who are no longer with us.
“The tree brings a focus and an opportunity to remember loved ones” said Rotary president Andrew Bartlett. “It allows partners, wives, husbands, children and grandchildren to remember happier times, and many people pick out a light on the tree to represent their loved one.”
“The Switch On ceremony took place on Monday 2nd December when one of our donors, Tom Bot, turned on the lights. The Chase Brass Band played Christmas Carols before and after the switch on, bringing some festive cheer and getting us all in the mood for Christmas."
The lights in Priory Park stayed on from 2nd December 2024 through to 4th January 2025 for people to enjoy as they walked through the park, allowing individuals to remember a loved one and support the local community at the same time.
There was a rolling display of all of the lives remembered on a large screen inside the theatre during this perod and the names were also printed in the Christmas edition of the Malvern Gazette. You can still see the lives remembered by following the link below.
If you would like to be involved in the campaign in some way in 2025, whether as a donor or corporate sponsor, please get in touch.
For Christmas 2025, if you would like to commemorate a loved one, please complete the form attached and send with a cheque (suggested minimum £5) to the address shown. Online payment are also accepted
