A fundraising scheme run by the Dorothy House Hospice and supported by Scottish and Southern Electricity Networks has raised a record total of more than £66,000 in the first week of January. The electricity supplier have helped to boost the charity’s resources by disposing of old Christmas trees in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way. For the past five years, Dorothy House Hospice Care has gathered real trees in early January from homes across areas including Bath, Bradford on Avon, Corsham, Frome ,Trowbridge and Westbury. The charity asks people to sign up to the scheme in the run up to Christmas, so they can arrange for their old trees to be collected and chipped in the new year in return for a small donation.
