We are so thrilled and honoured to have taken part in such a successful tree-cycling campaign this year for our local Sue Ryder Hospice!
Our green scheme which took place earlier this month, for the palliative, neurological, and bereavement support charity, Sue Ryder, which operates Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice in Peterborough saw volunteers, collect real Christmas trees direct from people’s front garden or driveway in return for a donation. The collected trees were then chipped and recycled by Nene Valley Tree Services Ltd, as mulch, with some being taken back to the hospice’s gardens. This meant that residents who chose to Tree-cycle were not only helping to raise vital funds for Sue Ryder, but also helping to reduce landfill.
Helen Kingston, community fundraiser at Sue Ryder Thorpe Hall Hospice, said: “We want to say a huge thank you to the local community for supporting our Christmas Treecycle scheme this year. It can be difficult to know what to do with your real tree once the festivities are over, but by recycling with us and making kind donations, you have helped to reduce landfill and raise vital funds so that we can continue to be there for families when it matters.
We here at NVTS HQ, are so pleased to announce that this year we have locally raised, over (drum roll please…)
