The Giving Tree

A decorated Christmas tree surrounded by wrapped gifts on a red background with sparkles. Text reads: "THE GIVING TREE. Dedicated to families facing hardship this Christmas."

Announcing our SVP Giving Tree Appeal – Donations needed by Dec 19th .

This Christmas, we are delighted to be working with St. Vincent de Paul to support local families in need. We have installed a “Giving Tree” in the Visitor Centre at the Admissions Desk and we invite you to get involved.

The concept is simple: The tree is decorated with paper gift tags specifying an age group (e.g., “Boy aged 10-12”). To participate:

A festive letter to Santa with a red and white striped border, Santa illustration, and green stamp. Instructions list steps to donate a gift or A Connoisseur’s Christmas Whiskey Experience through a tag system, with presents collected by Charity on December 19th.

A Note on Teenage Gifts: SVP has highlighted a strong need for gifts for older kids and teenagers, who are often overlooked in toy drives. Gift vouchers, headphones, toiletries, or sports gear are great options for this age group.

The deadline for donations is December 19th to ensure SVP has time to distribute them before Christmas.

Thank you for helping us support our community this festive season.
