Cannock Soroptimists and Cannock Friends of St Giles were amongst many businesses, organisations and charities who decorated a tree for the Tree Festival at St Luke’s Church in Cannock this year. The St Giles tree was decorated with green baubles and gold angels – green being the colour associated with the Hospice and the angels always part of the Hospice Christmas goods; Soroptimists used their colours of blue and yellow to decorate their tree.
Hundreds of visitors were expected at the three day Festival when they could admire the trees and the Church, make donations to charities if they wished, buy from Craft stalls and enjoy a cup of coffee in the beautiful surroundings.
Any donations received via the St Giles tree will be used to aid the work of the Hospice, caring for patients and their families at a time of great need. Donations received by SI Cannock will go to President Lynne Tuckley’s two charities this year: St Giles and the Pathway Project, helping women victims of Domestic Violence.
