Great Groves Christmas Tree Appeal

 

Groves Nurseries in Bridport and Little Groves in Beaminster, the largest Christmas tree suppliers in the area, are helping to spread some Christmas cheer across Bridport and Beaminster with their brand-new initiative, the Great Groves Christmas Tree Appeal.

 

Last week they put out a call to action to look for local businesses who might want to sponsor a Christmas for local schools and charities around Bridport and they have been overwhelmed by businesses coming forward.

 

Managing Director Charlie Groves said “Every year we have loads of requests for the donation of Christmas Trees for deserving organisations around Bridport, Beaminster and the surrounding villages. I wanted to find a way to be able to get anyone who needs a tree this year to get one.”

 

Within a week of asking Groves, 22 other businesses had offered to sponsor a tree that Groves can donate on their behalf. 

 

With the three trees that are being donated by Groves Nurseries, Ivy House and Little Groves it means that there are 25 Christmas Trees to give away this Christmas.

 

If you want to suggest an organisation that would like to receive a tree head over to Groves’ Facebook page where you can comment on their Christmas Tree Appeal post until the 5th of December. They will then randomly select 25 organisations to receive trees and allocated one to each sponsor who can either deliver the tree themselves or Groves will deliver on their behalf.

 

Of course, Groves wouldn’t be able to offer such a large number of Christmas Trees without the fantastic sponsors who came forward.

 

A big thanks to all of our sponsors who have allowed us to get this many trees out across Bridport & Beaminster.
