Rotarians from Crowthorne and Sandhurst got out their wellies earlier this month to carry out a charity planting.
The club’s members planted 45 saplings at Sebastian’s Action Trust, a charity that offers respite breaks, crisis breaks and day visits to very sick children and their families.
The beech, hornbeam and wild cherry saplings were planted in the grounds of The Bluebells, the UK’s only purpose-built facility to offer breaks exclusively to the families of seriously ill children in the region.
The tree planting effort was in response to a Rotary goal of changing the environment for the better by planting a tree for each member of Rotary by Earth Day, which takes place on Sunday.
Over the past five years, the Rotary Club of Crowthorne & Sandhurst has undertaken fundraising for Sebastian’s Action Trust, which is opening a day centre called The Woodlands in Crowthorne later this year.
The club’s next fundraising event was a fun Race Night held on Saturday, April 28 at the Memorial Hall in Finchampstead.
Further information about the event is available at www.rc-cs.org or by calling 07826 573509.
