We know that sometimes the festive season can be a difficult time for someone who has had a loved one die.
We invite you to write your message to a family member/s, friend/s and pets who have died on a card of your choice.
Please hang your card on the Tree in Mansfield Library so as to include your loved one in the spirit of Christmas.

The Tree will be in the Library from 5th December till the New Year.

You are invited to decorate the Community Christmas Tree of Remembrance with messages written on cards to family members, friends and pets who have died to include them in the spirit of Christmas.
