The tree in the Newport Pagnell store is adorned with tags describing people who need cheering up over the festive season. These range from a four-year-old boy to an elderly lady.
Customers take a tag and buy an appropriate gift for that person. They then take the gift back to the Co-op or drop it off at the nearby Uninted Reformed Church to be delivered to the recipient.
The Giving Tree is a joint initiative between the Co-op store and the Newport Pagnell United Reformed Church.
