Countdown to Christmas!
Sowing the seeds for Christmas Tree Collection
Our annual Christmas Tree Collection & Recycling Service
is back for another year, and we’re excited to see how many
trees we will collect this time.
During the 2022/23 collection, our fantastic team of volunteers
collected more than 1,670 trees in West Lancashire, Southport and
Formby and our amazing chipping teams recycled these for us in
an environmentally friendly way. Last year we raised over £22k with
your support.
This will be the 8th year that our dedicated sta昀昀 and volunteers
have run the Queenscourt Christmas Tree Collection &
Recycling Service for residents across West Lancashire,
Southport and Formby. With the help of our wider community,
we hope to raise even more this year to support the vital work
of #teamqueenscourt.
Between Friday, January 12th and Sunday, January 14th, our
fantastic team of volunteers will go out on multiple routes, collecting
trees from households and businesses.
To sign up online, please visit: www.queenscourt.org.uk/trees or

Christmas Tree Collection.

By donating during our Big Give week, you will be helping us to
access as much of that funding pot as possible. Every donation,
big or small, will go twice as far. Whether you can give £5 or raise
£500, you can make an amazing di昀昀erence to families who need
our special support.
A huge THANK YOU to Keith, who has generously pledged £20,000 as match-funding this year, which will mean that we have the
potential to raise over £40,000 with other people’s donations (plus Gift Aid) during The Big Give Christmas Challenge 2023.
Please pencil November 28th in your calendar and support our hospice this winter!
