Every year the Christmas Lights Committee, which is a sub-committee of Rush Community Council, work extremely hard to raise the funds necessary to pay for putting up and taking down the wonderful display of Christmas lights on main street and also organise the switching on of the Christmas lights event which this year will take place in Echlin Court on 30th November.

The Christmas Lights Committee have launched a GoFundMe page which can be accessed using the QR Code.Chairperson of the Christmas Light Committee Pat Sweetman explained, “We’ve already had some very generous donations from the community but we really need the people and businesses of Rush to dig deep and to help us to meet the target to fund the Christmas lights for this year. We know that things are more expensive all around, but it would be great if everyone could support the efforts to light up Rush at Christmas.”

It takes seconds to donate to the GoFundMe page using the QR code and there will be a street collection and raffles before the big day itself.

Rush Christmas Lights Committee are organising a spectacular event on 30th November for the switching on of the lights as their Chairperson explained, “We have groups of local musicians performing, there will be mince pies and Christmas treats and who knows maybe even a visit from the big man himself.”
