THE MILITARY CHRISTMAS TREE
GHELUVELT
PARK 2025
Earlier this year a Serbian spruce
(Picea Omorika), which has the look of a Christmas tree, was planted adjacent to
the War Memorial in Gheluvelt Park. From this has come the idea of illuminating
the tree at Christmas to recognise past and current service in the forces.
For a name to be recognised and
included on the Roll of Recognition a minimum donation of £5.00 is required.
Proceeds from the donations will be shared amongst local organisations
supporting ex-military personnel and their families.
The tree will be illuminated in the
run up to Christmas and though to 6th January 2026. The Roll of
Recognition will be published online and stay there until next year’s campaign.
The names will also be on display in the windows of the Sons of Rest Pavilion
in the Park.
This project is being managed by the Rotary Club of Worcester
Note: The Roll of Recognition is in the order
of donation and does NOT include rank.
If you
want a name added to the Roll of Recognition there are three ways to do this.
