Wakefield residents can help kick-start Wakefield Hospice’s 2022 fundraising by allowing the charity to collect and dispose of their Christmas tree in January. For just £10 the hospice team will collect trees (from outside properties) where they will be taken to Woolley Edge Farm for chipping. The service starts on 7 January 2022 and runs for one week. Trees can be collected from postcodes in WF1-WF6, LS26 and LS27 and S75 Wakefield Hospice first launched their Christmas Tree Collection service in 2016 and it has grown in popularity year on year. The 2021 service raised over £17,000 and the charity hopes to increase on that again in 2022. Keeley Harrison, Fundraising Manager explains “not only is this a great way to support Wakefield Hospice but it saves our supporters a trip to the tip and from having to clear pine needles from the car! This year has been especially hard in fundraising, so we are urging anyone who buys a real tree to take up this service and give us a wonderful start to the year ahead.” To book your tree collection please visit the hospice website https://www.wakefieldhospice.org/campaigns/christmas-tree-collection-service-2022/.
