Story
2017 marks a new start for St Oswald’s Church in Winwick.
After years of ongoing essential work to help save this beautiful church, the scaffolding and covers are due to come off in early summer.
To coincide with this new beginning a group of village residents have set up a fund to try and raise money for the purchase of a new, environmentally friendly and reusable 15ft Christmas Tree with low energy LED lights, which will sit proudly outside the renovated church each Christmas, for many years to come.
AND WE NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!
Local Parish Council funding for none essential items such as Christmas events has been dramatically cut in recent years meaning there is very little available for a new tree.
So the fundraising group have planned a number of events across the year, such as themed evenings at Winwick Leisure centre, a stall selling cream teas and scones at Winwick carnival in July, sponsored walks, discos, raffles / tombola’s, school events, and many more.
If you would like to donate to our cause or if you are interested in attending one of the amazing planned events, please go to our pages below or email us on savewinwickschristmas@gmail.com
Thank you

8 years agoThank you to another anonymous donor for your donation. In answer to the question posted about planting a tree. The one that is there now is planted, but has not been looked after properly and looks terrible, also in the wrong place. We cannot plant a tree in the spot where everybody can see it driving up Mydd lane as the church won't allow it because it'll block the view of the Stained Glass Window when it grows tall. What we are hoping to do is buy the lights, look after them properly so that we only have to get the tree the following years

The money we raise in 2017 will purchase a new temporary tree around 1500 LED lights and pay for the tree to be erected lights put on and tree disposed of after Xmas. The parish council do have a budget for the Xmas tree, and this will be put in also.
