A CHARITY is giving people the opportunity to pay tribute to loved ones they've lost by dedicated a leaf to them on a 'memory tree'.

Weldmar Hospicecare's Memory Tree is a unique sculpture which provides the opportunity for people to remember and celebrate their loved ones.

Each branch displays almond-shaped leaves in bronze, silver and gold which can be engraved with the name of a loved one. Each leaf tribute will be displayed on the tree, which sits in the reception area of the charity's inpatient unit, for a minimum of either one, two or three years, or even longer should you wish.

Bronze leaves cost £125 and will be displayed for one year. Silver costs £240 for two years and gold costs £350 for three years. People will be given the opportunity to renew your leaf or have your leaf returned in a presentation box for you to keep.
