Story


We are launching three Christmas Light Switch-ons this year. One of our displays is 6th November at 21 Rhodes Avenue. The second on the 7th November at 69 Webb Crescent. The third on the 8th November at 20 Trinity Road.

This year we are raising money for the 'Mind' Mental Health Charity. We all have been personally affected by mental health in our family; but charities such as Mind can make a massive difference, not to just ourselves, but to everyone's lives.

This year has not been a normal year for anyone; this pandemic has only made it harder for people to reach out to get the help they may really need.

We have been affected by mental health issues. As well as this, our uncle, Gordie, sadly lost his battle with his mental health, 21 years ago, after struggling long term. This is just part of why we want to make a difference  We believe no-one should suffer in silence.

This is where we can really make a difference! We want to support Mind this year by raising as much money as we can! 

PLUS!! The Wrekin Housing Group will match any money raised.

We will be launching live on Facebook on all 3 nights so everyone call watch the Big Switch On. Unfortunately we cannot facilitate any gatherings at these events.
