Recycle your Christmas tree for St Wilfrid's Hospice

St Wilfrid’s Hospice has launched its Christmas tree recycling service to help raise vital funds for patient care.

In return for a donation, a band of hospice staff and volunteers will collect your real Christmas tree between Thursday 8^th and Sunday 11^th January.

Areas covered include Eastbourne, Seaford, Polegate, Hailsham, Uckfield, Herstmonceux and Heathfield. Online bookings are open until 10pm on Tuesday 6^th January to allow for the routes to be planned.

Corporate Fundraiser, Debra Elliott, said: “When we launched this service in January 2025, it proved to be more popular than we ever expected, and we were amazed to raise over £9,000.

“We’d like to thank our sponsors, Enterprise Mobility and East Sussex College, as well as the volunteers and businesses who have signed up to help out with the collections – we couldn’t do it without their support.”
