Worcestershire & Herefordshire areas (see below)
Thank you so much to everyone who has supported our Christmas treecycle in previous years.

About
Our fourth Christmas treecycling campaign is back in January 2025, covering more areas and collecting even more Christmas trees!
Christmas is a time of year for family and friends and of course, the all-important Christmas tree.
We all love a real tree until the time comes to dispose of it after Christmas. Instead of having all those Christmas tree needles in the back of your car, why not ask the Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust to pick it up for you?
The easiest and quickest way to book your treecycle will be through our online link above when we open at the start of October.
Are you a local business who would like to support our campaign? If you would like to join Team Ladybird and have lots of fun in this treemendous team-building fun, drop us a line at: fundraising@gkcct.org

We kindly request that your tree is placed in a highly visible, safe location with minimal touch points for our volunteers. Please make sure all decorations are removed. Under no circumstances are volunteers to enter your property (home, shed, back garden) to collect your tree. Ideally, where possible, trees are to be placed roadside for volunteers to collect safely.

No. Just leave it in your designated place ready for us to collect providing we can access it.
At this time of year the weather can be unpredictable, especially in some of our rural areas. We shall endeavour to get to you within the specified days but our volunteers will not be travelling in risky conditions. If it is windy please try to keep your tree from blowing away by anchoring it if you can. Let us know asap if you have to change the location of your tree by email to fundraising@gkcct.org
If your tree has been collected you will receive a calling card through your door, if we are unable to find your tree we will leave details of how to contact us to arrange for us to come back out to collect.
