Linlithgow's Tree of Light

The Rotary Club of Linlithgow Grange is once again supporting local charitable fund-raising with its Tree of Light fund raising initiative over the Christmas period. Thanks to the support of the Council, the town’s Christmas tree at Linlithgow Cross – right at the very heart of the community – will be used as Linlithgow’s Rotary Tree of Light.

Thanks also to the generosity of Alan Steel Asset Management, Pacitti Jones, Stewart Electrical, Cala Homes (East) and other community-minded businesses and individuals this year the Tree of Light will shine brightly again. Their financial support ensures that every pound of public donations goes to the designated charities.

The Tree of Light is first and foremost a tree of remembrance – of a life fondly remembered – but it is also a tree of celebration — perhaps a milestone event such as a significant anniversary, or a new life begun. There will be many personal reasons to make dedications. The panels around the base of the tree, and the event website will be updated regularly for those that wish their dedication to be made public.

For 2022, the chosen charities are – West Lothian Foodbank, 1st Step Linlithgow, Warm Welcome Spaces, and Aspire. All are worthy causes, and all have a pressing need to raise money.

Dedication forms can be downloaded from the event website – http://www.linlithgowtreeoflight.org.uk. Many High Street businesses and other venues have also agreed to carry dedication forms and envelopes for you to collect and complete. You can then hand these into Pacitti Jones, A Wee Mindin’, or Wilson’s Newsagents, along with your donation, or simply post them back to us. Alternatively you can make donations by card via the online donation platform Jumblebee at https://www.jumblebee.co.uk/linlithgowsrotarytreeoflight.
