#Willdoes Rainbow Christmas tree is announced as contest winner

BEFORE Christmas is too distant a memory, Emmanuel Baptist Church would like to announce the results for the Purbeck Christmas Tree Festival held back in December.

The favourite tree at Emmanuel’s Christmas Tree Festival was the beautifully decorated Rainbow Tree sponsored by Willdoes, a local charity that aims to help young people struggling with life. A very worthy winner.

Runners-up were the Nutty Knitters tree and the Swanage Rotary Tree.

A total of £900 was raised over the three days in donations and this has been equally shared between this year’s two chosen charities – The Swanage Food Bank and the RNLI.

Our very grateful thanks to everyone who participated in our Purbeck Christmas Tree Festival for 2019.
