There will be” Trees” in Morriston, Clydach, Pontardawe and Ystradgynlais. Provision of these “Trees” has been made possible thanks to the generosity of; St David’s Church in Morriston; Vale Europe Ltd in Clydach; Neath Port Talbot Borough Council at Pontardawe and Ystradgynlais Community Hospital. Also, this year there will be “virtual” tree on the web site for those who are unable to attend the dedicaton services due to living away from the area.

Morriston’s money will go to the Dragon’s Burns Clubs at the children’s burns unit and Oakwood childrens ward, both at Morriston Hospital. Clydach’s money will go to the Charity Donations Committee at Vale, Clydach to allocate to local good causes. Pontardawe’s money will go to the Town Mayor’s chosen charity. Ystradgynlais’ money will go to the Patient’s Fund at Ystradgynlais Community Hospital. The “virtual” tree money will go to the Glantawe Lions Charity Fund.

Each “Tree” enables people to remember a person or cause by sponsoring one of the lights in that person’s memory for a minimum donation of £5. Every sponsor is sent a card commemorating their loved one and a list of sponsors and the person remembered is put up at each “Tree”.

All the “Trees” will be switched on at the beginning of December when there will be a short dedication services, to which the sponsors will be invited. The dates & times are:
Vale Ltd Offices, Clydach on Saturday 7th December at 5:15pm;
St David’s Church, Morriston on Friday 6th December at 4:15pm;
Pontardawe Art Centre, Pontardawe on Saturday 7th December at 11:00 am;
