Final reminder for our 2025 Christmas tree recycling
St Ann's Hospice working with Just Helping will collect and recycle your Christmas tree for a donation!
As Christmas is now over and the New Year is in full swing, the staff and volunteers at St Ann’s are preparing to collect Christmas trees from residences across Greater Manchester to raise vital funds for the Hospice.
St Ann’s Hospice will be once again working with national charity Just Helping to collect and recycle the Christmas Trees.
Residents can register to have their real tree collected now for a donation. In exchange St Ann’s will take it away and recycle it for you. No hassle, no waste, no needles in your car!
All trees are collected by a team of volunteers, then chipped and used for pathways and forest management at Wythenshawe Park.
The January 2024 collection recycled 5,200 trees and raised an incredible £65,187 for the Greater Manchester hospice, and they hope to raise over £75,000 in January 2025!
Alex Bryer, Operations Manager at Just Helping, says: “We were thrilled at the success of the annual tree-cycling event, and we are so grateful to every single person who registered and made a donation to have their tree collected and recycled by the team of local volunteers.
Make sure to register this year to avoid the hassle of disposing of your tree yourself whilst raising money for your local hospice and other local community charities in Manchester. Alex Bryer, Operations Manager at Just Helping
Lucy Green, Fundraising Manager at St Ann’s Hospice, said: “Over the last nine years, Just Helping has raised more than £309,000 for St Ann’s. We are incredibly grateful for their ongoing support, and we cannot wait to roll out this year’s Christmas tree collection campaign.”
The collection to recycle real Christmas Trees raises funds for St Ann’s Hospice, Francis House Children’s Hospice and other local charities in the community.
