Treefest

Thanks to everyone who took part in this year's special online version of Treefest. The winning tree, with 43% of the vote, was AGE UK Bristol’s.


Overall, 478 votes were cast during December, and the amount raised so far is £800.00, which is a magnificent effort from those who took part and a great response from the public. Thanks to all who submitted a tree this year, to those who voted and those who have donated.


You can take a look at the winning tree along with all of the other entries here. And find out about the causes that will be supported by this year's event, here.


Thanks again to all who took part!

I'm Beth, Life Event Coordinator. Over the past few months, we have been busy with baptisms, weddings and funerals. From small wedding blessings with only a couple and a priest present to large affairs with over 300 guests we feel glad to have supported people during key moments in their lives. I've noticed that life event services need cooperation from the whole team at St. Mary's: Cleaners keeping the church spotless; Clergy and Vergers running a seamless service on the day; talented Musicians providing deeply moving music; the Events team rearranging schedules and tours to fit services in the diary; much admin preparation before the day; careful diligence from our Finance Manager to ensure every penny of donations are sent to families charity of choice. The love and care put in by the team here is apparent to me and hopefully reassures you that St. Mary's will be here for you in both the highlights and hard times that you face. Beth Herbert
