When recent pledges are added in, we understand that less than £1000 is now needed to meet the appeal target for Christmas lights in Acomb.

However the appeal closes on Tuesday

The independent Acomb Alive traders group are already gearing up for Saturday 26th November when  a big “switch on” is planned. Minster FM will entertain the crowds from 2:00pm while a special guest will switch on the lights at 4:00pm

Crowdfunding appeal for more Christmas lights in Acomb

The, trader led, Acomb Alive organisation has been involved in the installation of small illuminated Christmas trees outside local shops (left) to create a festive atmosphere for the last few years.Christmas trees Green Lane

Acomb Alive has also funded a large Christmas tree outside the Gateway centre.

This year (2016) they would like to add to the festive atmosphere with the installation of festoon lighting in the main shopping areas.

Please support the project and help to get Acomb looking even more festive this year.

They are using the new “Spacehive” crowdfunding site which has already had at least one success this year.
