(i.e., purchase equipment/resources)
We would like to bring back the popular ‘Light Up Loans’ event, which hasn’t run in the village since before covid. This Christmas event brought the whole village together to sing carols and enjoy refreshments before counting down to the switch on of the Christmas lights.
We would also like to have a lovely tree within the village hall which would be lit up and on display for any events held in the hall during December. Part of this project would be to offer local people at the Light Up Loans event to purchase a tree bauble that they decorate in memory of a loved one or with a special Christmas message. The monies generated from this would be used for future years to replenish baubles, replace lights and decorations as required.
We’re looking to apply for funding to cover the costs of an outdoor Christmas tree (purchase, delivery and installation/removal), an indoor tree, lights and decorations for both, baubles to personalise and refreshments for on the night.
Outdoor Christmas tree - £700
Indoor Christmas tree - £330
Lights and decorations - £300
Ceramic baubles to personlise - £200
Refreshments for event - £100
Total - £1630
Location: Loans (and Troon)
