The FREG mobile Xmas tree is a unique sight around the Village over the holiday.
We started this idea of booking the tree to come to Folks houses as a fund raising idea during the Covid lockdown.
Many local families had the pleasure of hosting the tree on their drive ways giving joy to young families.
The idea has been so popular we have been asked to do it again and we are delighted to do so.
There is no minimum donation as all families are coping with the furlough impact.
Give what you can.
Contact me first please - mccarthy-j@nsk.com - to book an available date before you donate.
There is an auction for Xmas day - if you want the tree that day, please let me know your bid. I will announce the result on Xmas Eve.
Once you have an agreed date from me then you can add your details to the tree.
Select a bauble, leave a message for family & Neighbours, kindly donate.
Please do not select the star at the top of the tree - this will go to our auction winner.
