Families will come together in Nantwich town square this Sunday (November 3) as the Tree of Light is unveiled.
The tree, which is lit up outside St Mary’s Church, gives residents a chance to remember the loss of loved ones and think about those less fortunate than ourselves.
And this year Nantwich Town Council are dedicating it to the teenager from Baddington who was found dead in River Weaver on September 1.
People are invited to make a donation of £5 to dedicate a bauble on the Tree to a loved one or a special cause.
Donations can be made at Nantwich Civic Hall where you can fill a bauble with a name, message or items of your choice.
Those who have previously purchased a bauble, can return it to the Civic Hall to be re-hung for a donation of £3.
In addition, names can be also be listed on Nantwich Town Council webpage of remembrance.
The cost of the tree is covered by Nantwich Town Council and all donations are divided between the Mayor’s charities and St Mary’s Church.
People can gather outside St Mary’s Parish Rooms on Sunday November 3 from 5.30pm where the “Tree of Light” will be illuminated with a short service of prayer, hymns and poetry.
A town council spokesperson said: “This year the Tree of Light is dedicated to Jonty Evans, whose sad passing at the age of just 16, touched the whole community.”
