Bury Hospice tree collection
BURY Hospice is asking residents to put their old Christmas trees to help raise vital funds for the charity.
When those pine needles become too much and the baubles are hanging lower in those days after Christmas, most would just take it to the local tip to dispose of.
However, the hospice is encouraging people to help the environment and be charitable at the same time.
Teams of volunteers will be out between Friday, January 8 and Sunday, January 10, across the BL0, BL8, BL9, M25, M26 and M45 postcode areas.
Rachel Wallace, head of marketing, communications and fundraising, said; “We have been overwhelmed with community support throughout this year, which has been difficult for everyone. We cannot thank our community enough for all the fundraising and donations. Our Christmas Tree collection is a really easy way to give money to your hospice – and every penny makes a real difference.”
