A Burnham-On-Sea hotel is encouraging visitors to attach colourful baubles to a Christmas tree as seasonal tributes to loved ones while raising funds for a local good cause.
The Victoria Hotel in Burnham’s Victoria Street is selling festive baubles – with space on each to write brief messages – with donations going to the Burnham-On-Sea Foodbank.
Victoria landlord Gary Steven says there has already been lots of interest in the scheme on its Christmas memory tree outside the hotel.
“We wanted to let our customers decorate the tree while raising money for a good cause,” he told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
“By doing this, we can help local people remember loved ones at Christmas and also help the good work of Burnham Foodbank.”
“The baubles are selling for a donation of £3 each for two for £5 and are available at the bar during opening hours.”
As we reported, Burnham-On-Sea and Highbridge Foodbank is seeing soaring demand for its service as the cost-of-living crisis hits some local residents.
A spokesperson for the Highbridge Area Foodbank has thanked the Victoria Hotel for their support.
