Bereavement charity's festive tree to honour 'little ones'

Saturday, 3 December 2016 00:00

Bereaved parents are being invited to hang baubles in memory of their loved ones on a special Christmas tree.

The charity Sleeping Angel Wood owns a plot of land in Colden Forest in West Baldwin where parents whose children have died can plant trees in their memory.

A Christmas tree has now been put up for the festive period - with the charity inviting families to hang a bauble in memory of their 'little one' on December 10th.

Founder Tori Smithies says people are also welcome at any time if they want to do it privately:
