Light Up Wednesfield

Our Crowd Funding Campaign

For the last few years Wednesfield's Christmas lights have been dwindling as government cuts to Wolverhampton City Council's budgets have taken hold.

The council's first priority will always be to provide essential services, such as housing, education, health and suchlike. Therefore, budgets for things like Christmas  have been massively reduced.

We don't want the lights to go out - but we can't do it alone!

Working Together For Wednesfield

This year we know that with a little bit of help from the good people and businesses of Wednesfield, we can do the following:

• Double the amount of lights along the Wednesfield High Street
• Add more lights to the trees around St Thomas' Church
• Work towards our long term goal - to bring a living tree back in to the heart of the village.
  
  

We need to raise £4,000 by mid September for this to happen - that's less than 25p per household , surely we can manage that, can't we?

Hands on Wednesfield are offering a host of sponsorship packages for individuals and local businesses big and small, so hopefully Wednesfield can get better Christmas Lights and you can get a little something out of it too. 

On the successful funding of this project we will be produce a Christmas Brochure to hand out the event that you could be featured in, alongside other marketing opportunities in the Wednesfield Magazine and on the WV11.co.uk website and Facebook page.

If you are an individual looking to support us we have pledges for you too.

See our sponsorship packages for exactly what's on offer.

It's a case of all or nothing - we need to raise £4,000 to make this happen!
