Giving Tree
A Giving Tree with a twist has just been decorated at Aberdeen International Airport, to raise both money and awareness for a local charity this festive season.
The airport worked alongside charity partner Friends of ANCHOR to create the concept that is hoped will bring some festive cheer for cancer patients and their families. The Christmas tree is decorated with specially designed tags which feature a ‘text to donate’ number as well as a dedicated message space for passengers to write words of encouragement or festive wishes to the staff and patients at the ANCHOR Unit who will be spending Christmas in hospital.
It is hoped that passengers will first make a festive donation before writing their message. The tags will be hand delivered by the Friends of ANCHOR team to the Unit to be put on display over Christmas.
People wishing to donate should text ‘LIFE24 £5’ TO 70070 to make a £5 festive donation and the ‘Giving Tree’ can be found in the main airport concourse, before security and outside the newly opened Joe’s Café.
