The deadline for Christmas tree collections in support of local charities is approaching this weekend.

If you're a Stockport resident looking to get rid of your Christmas tree - and support St Ann's Hospice and Francis House Children's Hospice whilst doing so - consider registering for collection HERE.

The deadline for registrations is 7 January. Anybody with a Stockport postcode can arrange for volunteers to pick up their tree, after which it will be recycled to make woodchip for parks. 

Collections will take place from 11-14 January.

A donation of £20 is recommended - this in turn will support other charities across Stockport and Greater Manchester. 

In the 2023 collection alone, £63,07.99 was raised for fifteen local charities, with more than 5,000 trees collected. 

Lucy Leeming, Fundraising Manager of St Ann's Hospice, said: "We are so proud of how much was raised in last year's Christmas tree collection, and we are really excited for this year's as the collection areas have expanded."

You can register your tree to be collected HERE.
