Christmas Tree Collection Service

Our Christmas tree collection service helps us raise vital funds for the Hospice. In return for a donation to support local hospice care, we will come and collect your real tree from outside your home from the 9-11 January 2025 and recycle it for you!

Registration opens from November!

No hassle, no waste and no needles in your car!

Your support will help us raise the £15,000 a day needed to provide all our services for the local community for free. Our vital care and support helps our patients and their families at a time when they need us most.

Collection postcodes include: RG20 5, RG21, RG22, RG23, RG24, RG25, RG26, RG27, RG28, RG29 and GU34

How your donation will help

By booking your tree collection today and making a donation, you’ll help us continue to be there for local people, and their loved ones, living with a life-limiting illness, facing the end of life or experiencing bereavement.

• £20.45 could help fund an hour of expert care from our nursing team.
• £36.42 could help fund one of our bereavement sessions for a family member.
• £57.30 could help provide a Living Well session for a patient.
• £92.24 could help provide our medical transport for a week.

After costs, 85% of the monies raised will be distributed to St. Michael’s Hospice and the remaining 15% distributed to a nominated charity or community group.
