MESSAGES of love and festive joy have been shared though the charity Tree of Light.

The annual charity appeal, which was launched by the Newport and Uskmouth Rotary Satellite Club in 2015, raises money for good causes by allowing people to share messages of goodwill with a special coupon.

The tree is located in Friars Walk and it aims to raise money for charity by sharing messages from people to their loved ones.

Messages or dedications can be made by completing a form online at friarswalktreeoflight.co.uk and making a donation or completing this slip which can be returned to our offices on Cardiff Road in Newport with your donation.

Others drop off locations for your your slip and donation are Kingston Newell on Bridge Street, Tovey Bros on Cardiff Road and Magor Printing at Magor Square.

You can also text TREE21 £3 to 70070 to donate to the charities.
