🎄 St James’ Church Christmas Tree Festival is now open until 7 December 🎄
The festival is a beautiful way to start the season and raises vital funds for local charities doing important work in our community.

This year, we’re so proud to share our Help Counselling Services tree, lovingly created by our very first HCS Ambassador, Kirsty. Every single decoration was handmade – a real gift of time, care, and creativity.

✨ New for this year:
You’re invited to add your own decoration to our tree. Write a note about how you’ve helped someone, or how someone has helped you this festive season. It’s a simple way to celebrate kindness, connection, and the little moments that make a big difference.

If you’re visiting the festival, please do come and see our tree – we’d love to read your messages. 💛

We’re delighted to be partnering with Community Conversations and the Wiltshire Health Improvement Hub to launch Nourish & Flourish – a new therapeutic group centred on compassionate conversations, body confidence and emotional wellbeing.

This 12-week small group is designed for women in Melksham Forest who want a supportive, non-judgemental space to explore their relationship with food, weight, emotions and self-worth. Together, we hope to create a place where women feel heard, empowered and able to grow in confidence and self-care.

Sessions start 15th January 2026, are free to attend, and will run on Thursdays 9.30am–12pm at the Melksham Adventure Centre.

To apply for a place, please email
