The St Vincent de Paul Giving Tree was launched on Saturday 21th November in Millfield Shopping Centre. By participating in the Giving Tree Appeal you can help to spread Christmas cheer and excitement, through the gift of surprise! Even the smallest of gifts that are sometimes taken for granted are most welcome.

So how can you participate:

1. Take a tag from the Christmas Tree
2. Purchase a suitable gift or voucher to match the tag profile (Each tag lists a type of person and age group e.g. ‘Girl aged 4-7 years’ or ‘Adult Male’)
3. Drop your gift at the collection point beside the tree.

The St Vincent de Paul volunteers will then distribute these gifts in the local community, just in time for Christmas!
