The FORCE Christmas tree in Princesshay will be trimmed with especially eco-friendly decorations this year.
A group of patients who have been supported by FORCE came together at the charity’s Support and Information Centre to create a wonderful array of decorations from recycled materials.
They are ready in time for the big switch-on of Christmas trees representing a host of local charities this Thursday (November 18).
The project was co-ordinated by Rachel Stewart, who makes bespoke jewellery from upcycled materials.
