Tavistock Lions Trees of Light
The Trees of Light will be turned on at a short service at 7.00pm on Thursday 3rd December in Bedford Square. The money raised will go to local charities, which this year are: Tavistock Memory Café, St. Luke’s Hospice, The Chestnut Appeal The Motor Neurone Disease Association (Plymouth)  This fundraising project was started in 1999 when the club agreed with Tavistock Town Council to erect a large Christmas Tree on the front of the Town Hall which would be covered in lights sponsored by members of the public in memory of departed love ones. Over £184,000 has been collected to date. It has become so popular that the number of trees has been increased to three to cater for all the light bulbs. To make a donation please go to their website.Â
