Saint Catherine’s is branching out with its festive fundraising plans by offering a Christmas tree collection and recycling service.

The scheme will see teams of volunteers collecting and disposing of real Christmas trees, for a minimum donation of £10, this January.

The brand new service will operate in the Scarborough within a 10-mile radius of the hospice in Throxenby Lane. The teams will collect trees from outside properties between from 6^th to 12^th January and they will be taken away for chipping.

Susan Stephenson, fundraiser, said: “This is not only a great way to help raise much-needed funds for patient care, but it saves our supporters the hassle of disposing of their tree and having a car full of pine needles! We would love this scheme to take off and grow in future years, so please do think of us if you are having a real tree this year.”

To book your tree collection, please go to Events- my Saint Catherine’s

Please book by Friday 3^rd January 2025.
