- As wood chippings for outdoor community projects
- Used to create brash hedges for natural land management and regeneration

Who collects my Tree? 
We have a wonderful team of corporate supporters and volunteers who will be out collecting in January, if you see them give them a cheery wave!
Become a Volunteer Van Driver
By volunteering as a van or trailer driver for the Christmas Tree Collection, just one day of your time could generate approximately £700 for the Hospice! To break it down, our average donation per tree is around £20, and most collection routes have around 35 trees to collect.
Collection days start at 7am, with a driver briefing and a brew led by one of our amazing team members. During this briefing we cover risk assessments, driver and collection etiquette, and set out routes. We expect a standard route to take approximately 4 hours to
complete, and welcome registrations from anyone regardless how much or how little time they have to spare.
Giving us the gift of your time is one of the most incredible ways you can support our fundraising efforts in January.
If you have access to a van or trailer, and are available on any of our collection dates, fill out this short expression of interest and our Collection Lead will get in touch.
