Recycle your Christmas tree the green and charitable way!

Support short and precious lives with the money you kindly donate 

Our tree-mendous army of elves will collect and recycle your tree for a donation to Children’s Hospice South West.  

We’re working alongside Just Helping, Biffa and Ringway to bring you hassle-free Christmas tree collection and recycling. We rely on your donation to support babies, children and young people living with life-limiting conditions and their families. Your recycled tree will have a positive environmental impact in the local area.

To reserve your Christmas tree collection, check your postcode eligibility and secure your spot.

 

Registration opens soon

 

*After costs, most monies raised will go to Children’s Hospice South West. A small amount will be distributed to charities in the local community 

 

Recycle for a good cause 

The money you donate helps make the most of short and precious lives. 

  • £20 could help fund fun times in the hydrotherapy pool for families to make memories together  
  • £35 could help fund our 24 hour phone line so even at Christmas every call is answered
  • £50 could help pay for freshly prepared meals for a family during a festive stay
  • £93 could help fund 1 hour of care for a family at one of our hospices at Christmas and all year round. 

So far, you have helped recycle 4,737 trees and raised £78,092.83!

Over 20 years ago, my wife and I asked for donations to Children’s Hospice South West instead of wedding gifts. Supporting this charity has always meant a lot to us; and the Christmas Tree Recycling initiative is one of the easiest, most meaningful ways to give back. It helps incredible families and protects the environment at the same time. Why wouldn’t you support it?
