Katy O’Sullivan, Isabel’s Head of Fundraising, said: “We’re here to help make your Christmas clear-up as hassle-free as possible, leaving you to focus on the festive fun. So, when you’ve finished decking the halls and it’s time to pack away the tinsel and baubles for another year, we will pick up your tree from your door and recycle it in an environmentally friendly way.”
Last year, we collected more than 1,500 trees from households across eastern Hertfordshire, raising a tree-mendous £30,500 to help fund our specialist and compassionate care.
Katy added: “This is the third year we have organised our tree-cycling service, and it continues to grow in popularity each year. We expect to be even busier this year, so we are encouraging people to book their collection slot online as early as possible to avoid disappointment.”
We are also in need of extra helpers to post leaflets through letterboxes and distribute posters in their community to raise awareness of the tree-cycling campaign, as well as help collect the trees in January and drop them to our disposal sites.
Katy said: “Back in January at the start of this year, more than 60 volunteers offered their help by both leafleting houses and helping us to collect trees in an awe-inspiring display of community spirit.
“We’re hoping our supporters will work their magic for us by volunteering to lend a hand again this time round so if you can help, even for just a couple of hours, please do get in touch as we would love to hear from you.”
