Francis House Children’s Hospice has joined forces with JustHelping and St Ann’s Hospice to launch a Christmas tree collection campaign, which hopes to raise vital funds for the charity.
Residents from Manchester, Stockport, Trafford and Salford can register their Christmas tree for collection up until midnight on January 7. The trees will then be collected between Thursday, January 11 and Sunday, January 14 by a team of volunteers and recycled at Wythenshawe Park.
Kate Puć, fundraising officer at Francis House Children’s Hospice said: “We are delighted to be on board this year with the Christmas tree collection and thank JustHelping for asking us to be a part of this campaign. We are hoping plenty of our supporters will ask for their tree to be recycled and help to raise vital funding for their local children’s hospice.”
The collection is run in partnership with JustHelping, a national charity which supports volunteers, businesses and charities to contribute to their community and the environment. Last year, the campaign raised almost £65,000 from the collection of 5,000 trees.
Tom Laverty, development manager at JustHelping said: “JustHelping are delighted to welcome Francis House to the MCR Christmas Tree Collection. The event provides an easy and convenient way for people to donate to their local community and we are excited to be offering more households the opportunity to support both children and adult hospices in Greater Manchester.”
Based in Didsbury, Francis House provides a home from home where the families of children with life-limiting conditions receive professional care, support and friendship.
Kate Puć added: “Register your tree before the 7th of January to make sure you secure your slot and enjoy your Christmas knowing that you won’t be queuing at the recycling centre to dispose of your tree in the New Year!”
