St Oswald's Hospice encourage people in the North East to use their 'Tree-cycle' initiative

St Oswald’s Hospice is encouraging people to sign up to their Tree-cycle campaign which will help the environment whilst raising funds for the charity.

In January, the charity will collect people’s real Christmas trees directly from their homes, saving them a trip to the tip. The trees will be recycled for a suggested donation of £15 per tree with 100% of the profits raised benefitting St Oswald’s Hospice.

Anita Ball, director of income and marketing at St Oswald’s Hospice, said: “We’re excited to bring back our popular Christmas Tree-cycle collections for the sixth year in a row.

“Last year’s campaign raised over £60,000, with the team collecting more than 4,000 trees, which were transformed into compost and wood chippings.
