How does it work?

This January, we’ve teamed up with local businesses to offer an easy, eco-friendly way to dispose of your Christmas tree while raising vital funds.

To guarantee collection, you must leave your tree in a visible location outside your property. Our volunteers are unable, under any circumstance, to enter your property (e.g. house, back garden, shed etc). Please note that we are only able to collect trees 6ft and under. If your tree is over 6ft, you will need to cut it down.

We are happy to collect multiple trees from households, businesses, hotels and more. We kindly ask that you ensure your donation reflects this.

We have partnered with several wood chipping companies who have kindly agreed to chip unpotted trees. Wood chippings can be used for biomass boilers, bedding for farmyard animals, for use in agricultural fertilisers, or they can be turned into mulch for gardens. If you would like us to collect a potted tree, this will be replanted locally.

Make your tree go further

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.

John's Story

Wherever you are in Lincolnshire, our Hospice at Home nurses are supporting people in your community 365 days a year – including Christmas. This includes patient, John who receives specialist care and visits from St Barnabas:

“After my diagnosis, St Barnabas got in touch with me and asked if I wanted anything to help me in the house. They put handrails on the stairs, I’ve got a chair in the bathroom which I can sit on, and it lowers me down, and I’ve got grab rails in the shower so that I don’t fall. They put in place things like that for me which are very, very helpful.”

Further to practical adjustments, the Hospice at Home team have provided John with vital wellbeing support. He says: “It’s nice to have somebody here to talk to. They come and have a chat with me, ask me how I am, and if there is anything they can do. When you’re on your own, it’s lonely, and you get a bit fed up at times, but I’m very happy with them and they’ve been very good to me.”
