By taking part in Tree-Cycle, you’ll not only be helping the environment, but also making a real difference to the lives of patients and families across Lincolnshire.

All we ask in return is that you make a suggested donation of £22 per tree, to help us care for our patients living with life-limiting and terminal illnesses across Lincolnshire.

Don’t forget – you can add Gift Aid to your donation to boost your fundraising at no extra cost. Adding Gift Aid allows us to claim an extra 25p for every £1 you donate.

Together, we can turn Christmas trees into care, compassion, and lasting support for those who need it most.

Wherever you are in Lincolnshire, our Hospice at Home nurses are supporting people in their own communities 365 days a year, including Christmas. This includes patients like Angela.

When Angela was diagnosed with liver cancer, she felt “shocked and upset”. Now, she says the spiritual care and support she is receiving at home from St Barnabas has been “brilliant”.

“The support means a lot. It’s being able to offload what’s bothering me – sometimes it’s medical, sometimes it’s spiritual. It’s knowing that there’s somebody there that I could contact if I need them, and they’ve just been wonderful, amazing. It’s like coming out of the wilderness and into a safe place, in my own home. Sonya is kind and so thoughtful.”

Sonya, a Health and Rehabilitation Support Worker and Spiritual Champion at St Barnabas, visits Angela as part of our Hospice at Home team, offering personalised care, reassurance and a listening ear.

“As a Spiritual Champion, I’m there to listen, to support, and to help and guide her with whatever she needs. If I can make that one person feel a tiny bit better, I’ve done my job.”

From Lincoln to Louth, Gainsborough to Grantham, and Skegness to Spalding, Hospice at Home nurses like Sonya are helping people stay safe, supported and cared for in the place they feel most comfortable.

A donation of £42.50 could help fund a community nurse visit for one hour, bringing compassionate care directly to a patient’s home, just like Angela’s.
