Cygnet Grange and Cygnet Lodge’s Giving Tree
Colleagues at Cygnet Grange and Cygnet Lodge, our neuropsychiatric rehabilitation services in Sutton-in-Ashfield, have created a Giving Tree for the fifth year in a row this Christmas. They decided to start the initiative as an alternative to Secret Santa.
The scheme is run by the charity Kids Out who say: “The now famous Giving Tree was originally created to be a fun alternative to the traditional Secret Santa, when instead of buying anonymous ‘joke’ gifts for colleagues, the Giving Tree encourages people to buy a toy for a disadvantaged child who might otherwise receive very little – or in some cases – nothing at all at Christmas.”
Staff taking part each take a tag from the Giving Tree. Each tree tag has the name of a child and the present that they or their parent has said they would love to receive from Father Christmas.
Team Leader Kelly LeGrice said: “I’m really proud of the team for continuing with this tradition and helping a charity.”
