Businesses and residents are being praised for their festive giving in helping raise more than £10,137 for charity as part of Strathcarron Hospice’s tree recycling fundraising campaign.

 

Residents paid a donation via JustHelping to have their real Christmas tree collected in aid of Strathcarron. A range of generous businesses volunteered their staff and transport to assist with the collection of the 569 trees last week.

The trees will now all be taken to be recycled by Sustainable Thinking Scotland CIC, in Bo’ness.

 

Claire Kennedy, Corporate Fundraiser at Strathcarron Hospice, said: We would like to thank everyone who chose Strathcarron as the beneficiary of having their tree recycled. This helps us raise vital funds for the Hospice and the work we do to support palliative and end of life patients and their loved ones.

 

A special thanks goes to Sustainable Thinking Scotland CIC for recycling the trees, to Torwood Garden Centre for their hospitality and use of grounds as a base for the collection campaign and to Central Demolition for their skips, to move the trees from Torwood to Bo'ness.

 

A huge thanks goes to all the businesses who displayed banners, posters and tags and to the following businesses who provided transport and volunteers for collecting the trees – we really could not have done it without your fantastic support:

• Inverde UK
• MKM Stirling
