Treecycle this Christmas with Ashgate Hospicecare
Christmas day is over: you’ve done the washing up, binned the wrapping paper and the kids have already broken their toys. But what do you do with your tree after the festivities? Forget struggling to get it in the car for the tip, or cutting up and scattering pine needles everywhere, Ashgate Hospicecare can help.
If your postcode is S40, S41 or S42, the charity can pick up your tree and recycle it for you, for a suggested minimum donation of £8 per tree. The Treecycle scheme not only saves hassle buts also supports the hospice as they can make money from the sale of the chippings from your tree.
Just £6 could pay for an activity book for a bereaved child to help them remember their loved one. If you’re feeling generous this festive season, £10 can pay for a walking stick or a leg raiser so that a patient can get in and out of bed un-aided.
To register fill in a collection form online at Ashgate Hospicecare’s website then simply leave your tree outside your property for collection on the 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th of January 2016. You can also register your collection by calling Ashgate Hospicecare on 01246 567250.
