Following on from a difficult 2020, we were determined to lighten the darkness for the winter just gone and those to come. We have our sights set on ‘lighting up’ Cartersland Green so that someone approaching our beautiful village from any of the four directions will be welcomed by the festive sight of trees decorated with beautiful Christmas lights and know that Christmas in Milland is being well celebrated.

Last year, the first of this ongoing project, we managed to light up one tree to the north. This year thanks to more funding from The Parish Council, we shall be able to improve the lighting on that tree as well as to start lighting up another tree in the south of the green. We are however fundraising to be able to brighten up the green (and hopefully all that see it) even more.

We know asking for donations this year is a bigger ask than normal, as this has been a financially difficult year for everyone, we will be extremely grateful for all donations no matter the size! Even the act of fundraising has become more challenging, as money is not something many of us carry around anymore. As well as the clear financial impact that the Corona Pandemic has had on everyone, it is also clear that the emotional impact is proving to be just as great and this is something we want to positively impact on.

If the “Milland Christmas Lights Project” intrigues you, please do support us.
