The first weekend of January saw the hospice team of Treecycle volunteers out in force for their annual Treecycle Christmas Tree collection.
The sun shone for them and their fantastic volunteers collected 878 Christmas Trees, raising £14,817 for the charity.
The trees were kindly chipped by Treemendus Tree Services Ltd and will be recycled.
Lucy Perkins, fundraiser at Primrose Hospice and Treecycle organiser said: “I am delighted with the success of our Treecycle campaign this year. The increased number of trees to collect, combined with the fantastic amount of money raised made it more fun and a great challenge. A huge thank you to our wonderful volunteers who gave it their all as they always do.
“I’d also like to thank all the business’ who come together making Treecycle such a success. And of course a big thank you to everyone who booked to have their tree collected by Primrose this year, your donation really does make a difference. Here’s hoping next year will be bigger and better still.
“Thank you to everyone who supported Primrose Hospice’s Treecycle, including the event sponsors Bumble Hole Foods”.
