January ‘tis the season to recycle your Christmas tree and support Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice.
National healthcare charity, Sue Ryder, is running its festive green scheme again encouraging you to sign up to have your real Christmas trees collected and recycled to raise vital funds for families needing their care.
The palliative, neurological and bereavement support charity, which operates Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice in Peterborough, wants people to keep spreading the festive cheer into the New Year by supporting its Treecycle initiative, while helping to raise money so that the charity can continue to provide their expert and compassionate care.
For a suggested donation, if you live in PE1, PE2, PE3, PE4, PE5, PE6 7, PE7 and PE8 postcodes you can sign up to have your real trees collected directly from the front garden or driveway, between Saturday January 7 and Tuesday January 10.
The cut-off date for registering for a collection is Tuesday January 3.
Helen Kingston, Community Fundraiser at Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice, said: “Once the presents have been unwrapped and the lights and decorations have come down, it can be hard to know what to do with your real Christmas tree.
"Our environmentally-friendly Christmas tree collection is the perfect solution. Plus, every donation made through the scheme will help us continue to be there for families going through the most difficult times of their lives.
“A special thank you to our partners, Nene Valley Tree Services and Safe Local Trades, and volunteers who have kindly donated their time and the loan of vans or trailers, to help make this year’s Christmas Treecycle service possible.”
The collected trees will be chipped by Nene Valley Tree Services and recycled as mulch in the gardens of Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice.
This means if you choose to Treecycle you’ll not only help to raise funds so that Sue Ryder can continue to provide its care to local families, but will also reduce landfill.
