Wirral Hospice St John’s will be running its annual Christmas tree collection and recycling scheme in the new year.
They are collecting from the following postcode areas from 13 January: CH41, CH42, CH43, CH44, CH45, CH46, CH47, CH48, CH49, CH60, CH61, CH62, CH63 and CH64.
Elaine Connell, Wirral Hospice St John’s fundraising officer, said: “We’ve got our fingers crossed for another bumper year of Christmas tree collections, the generous donations make a huge difference to the lives of so many people with life-limiting illnesses in our Wirral community.
“A small army of people give up their valuable time, and also the use of their vans, year after year, to help with the used Christmas tree collections. It’s always a lot of fun for our hardy volunteers and we are so grateful to them and everyone who books a collection with us.
“We’re also so very, very, thankful to all those brilliant companies and organisations who lend a hand, equipment or space.”
The suggested minimum donation per tree is:
- £8.71 – under 5 foot
- £9.42 – 5-6 foot
- £15.38 – 6-7 foot
- £21.53 – 7-8 foot
- £24.84 – 8 foot+
