Charlotte was delighted to pop along to see the Brailsford Brothers’ Christmas lights switch on in Henbury, which this year attracted the attention of national TV.
Paul and Lee Brailsford first started what has now become an annual event back in 1994 and since then the number of lights adorning their mum’s house has grown to such an extent that construction on this years’ complex Christmas lights arrangement began all the way back in October. At a cost to themselves Paul and Lee not only put on a spectacular display for the entire community to enjoy but also raise thousands of pounds for Charity.
Charlotte said:
“I have been so struck by the personal effort and sacrifice Lee and Paul have made to bring joy to their community, and to those children for whom their Childrens’ Hospital appeal raises money. This is Big Society with bells on.”
You can watch a documentary about Paul and Lee Brailsford in mid-December on CH4.
