Chair of the Tree of Light TrusteesThe Telford Tree of Light is a charity jointly administered and  supported by the four Telford Rotary Clubs. It has been running for over 30 years and to date has raised over £875,000 for over 60 local charities. All the donations received are allocated to the chosen charities for the annual campaign each year at a presentation event.Â
These charities are chosen by the Club Presidents of the four clubs. We raised a fantastic £40,000 in 2024 due to the incredible generosity of local people.
The Telford Tree of Light is displayed each year, during the festive season, in Telford Town Centre. The public send us donations for loved ones to be remembered at Christmas and these names, and a short message, are displayed around the Tree.  It is a wonderful sight and a moving memory of loved ones at a special time of year. We now also have a pet’s section which has proved very popular.
We would be delighted to have your support and remember your loved ones in 2025.
Telford Tree of Light Charity
The Telford Tree of Light Charity is run by the four Telford Rotary Clubs – Wellington, Telford Centre, The Wrekin and Ironbridge. There is a committee, with representatives of all the clubs, that oversees and organises the annual campaign. A Board of nine Trustees has the oversight of the charity and ensures the charity meets its objectives and statutory regulations.
Your donation is so important to our local chosen charities
Thank you for making a difference
