CHARITIES are being invited by a Christmas tree farm in Somerset to nominate themselves to receive a free Christmas tree for the festivities as part of a ‘100 Trees for Charities’ campaign (October and November 2022).
Langford Lakes Christmas Tree Farm, which grows Christmas trees, is calling for charities to get in touch if they need a tree, as the team has 100 to giveaway.
Nick Hendy from Langford Lakes Christmas Tree Farm, which is based at Middle Hill Farm in Langford Budville on the Somerset/Devon border, said: “Last year (2021) we donated 100 Christmas trees to worthy causes in the local area and it was such a huge success, that we’ve decide to do it all again in 2022.
“We annually donate three large Christmas trees to the Taunton, Wiveliscombe and Wellington town centres, but a few years ago we wanted to do more and spread the Christmas spirit further, so launched our ‘100 Trees for Charities’ campaign.
“We will have 100 Nordmann Fir Christmas trees available to donate to local charities in the Somerset area.
“We are asking each charity who would like a tree to explain in no more than 100 words why they would like one of ours and to email us via info@langfordlakes.co.uk. The entry deadline is midnight on Friday, November 18, 2022. Applications will be considered on a first come, first served basis and charities must be able to collect their trees on weekdays only.
“The successful charities will receive a reply email from us and they will be invited to come and collect their Christmas tree at a mutually agreeable time from our farm in late November/early December.”
