East Cheshire Hospice Christmas Tree Collection

This weekend, East Cheshire Hospice volunteers will be hitting the streets, collecting and recycling Christmas trees.

Residents in the CW12, SK9, SK10, SK11, SK12 and WA16 postcodes can register their tree for collection by making a donation to the hospice here.

Last year, the collection raised over £160,000, which is enough to fund more than two weeks of care.
