Andrew Wood, Community Fundraising Manager at Sue Ryder Manorlands Hospice, has shared what a difference Christmas Treecycling makes to Sue Ryder:
“Last year our Christmas Treecycling service across the UK kept 7,199 trees out of landfill, helping to reduce the impact on the environment. The initiative also raised over £119,000 for Sue Ryder – enough to fund over 4,000 hours of expert and compassionate palliative care from our nurses, so that fewer patients need face death alone.
“By choosing to recycle your real tree with an optional donation to Sue Ryder, your Christmas tree could become the gift of expert care and support for seriously ill people and their loved ones.
“We’re encouraging residents to this year make the tree-mendous choice of an optional donation when you register for our Sue Ryder Christmas Treecycling service this year, so that no one need die or grieve alone.”
This year’s Christmas Treecycling scheme is supported by Skipton Self Drive, Keighley Tree Services and Settle District and Craven district YFC.
