Christmas tree collections raise £9,000 for hospice

A HOSPICE’S Christmas tree collection and recycling service has raised a whopping £9,000 for the charity.
Lewis-Manning Hospice Care has thanked households for choosing them to sort nearly 600 trees after the festive period, as well as businesses who have helped in the process.

All trees are being recycled either by Eco Sustainable Solutions, JSR Tree Care in Swanage, or James Dean Garden Maintenance.
Area fundraiser, Ruth Wright, said: “We are now in our fifth year and are thrilled to be able to continue offering this brilliant eco-friendly service to our local community.
“We are so grateful to our loyal supporters who keep coming back to register their trees for collection.
“We have raised an incredible £9,000 for our wonderful charity which could pay for 30 days of running our Breathlessness service.
