Light Up Westbourne this Xmas – Powered by Us All

Aim: Help us raise £7,500 to keep Christmas lights on the streets of Westbourne! —let’s light up our village together!✨🎄💖

Light up Westbourne this Christmas- Powered by Us All 🎄✨ Westbourne Needs YOU to Shine This Christmas! ✨🎄

Every winter, the Christmas lights in Westbourne have brought ✨magic✨ to our high street — lighting up chilly evenings, putting smiles on faces, and bringing our whole community together. It’s a tradition loved by young and old — and it helps our amazing local businesses thrive during the festive season. 🎁☕🍰

But this year, something’s changed...

💔 The council has withdrawn funding for Christmas lights in Westbourne due to budget cuts.
That means if we don’t step in as a community, the streets of our village will stay dark this December. No twinkle. No sparkle. No festive magic. 😢

So we’re asking for your help — because we believe Westbourne deserves to shine.

We need to raise £7,500 to cover the full cost of renting and professionally installing the Christmas lights.
💡 This is the best price we’ve found from trusted external providers. Every penny will go directly to making our high street bright, beautiful and festive again.

🌟 Can you chip in to help us keep the lights on? 🌟

Your donation — no matter the size — will help turn on the joy this Christmas. 🎅🎄✨

🌟 The good news? We’ve already started!
💖 12 amazing independent businesses in Westbourne have donated prizes and raised £728 so far!

Our community is stepping up — will you join them?
Together, we can light up Westbourne, support our small businesses, and give our community the festive celebration it deserves. 💖
