A Christmas tree with a spring twist has been unveiled at Caerphilly Visitor Centre all in the name of charity.

The centre’s festive tree has this year been dedicated to Marie Curie and is decorated with daffodils – the emblem of the charity which supports people with a terminal illness.

Martin Cook, Manager of Caerphilly Visitor Centre, explained: “I mentioned to one of the Marie Curie volunteers that we were looking for inspiration on how to decorate our Christmas tree this year and I suggested perhaps covering it with daffodils could be a possibility.

“Marie Curie is a charity very close to our hearts at the Visitor Centre, as so many of our customers have received care and support from the charity.

“The Visitor Centre has supported the Marie Curie Great Daffodil Appeal for many years.

“We hope that by putting the Marie Curie daffodil at the heart of our Christmas celebrations will encourage people to make a donation to help continue the valuable work done by Marie Curie.”
