A company based in Doncaster, Yorkshire, has initiated a Christmas tree collection service to support children battling cancer. The initiative aims to raise funds and awareness for local charities dedicated to providing assistance to families affected by the disease.
Local firm A1 Trees has announced that it will collect discarded Christmas trees from households in the region from January 2 to January 15, 2024. Residents can register for the collection through the company’s website. For each tree collected, A1 Trees will donate a portion of the proceeds to local charities that focus on supporting children with cancer.
The initiative not only promotes recycling during the festive season but also encourages the community to contribute to a worthy cause. The company emphasizes that this effort is part of its commitment to corporate social responsibility and community engagement.
According to the firm’s owner, David Johnson, “We wanted to create a way for people to dispose of their Christmas trees responsibly while helping children in need. Every tree collected will make a difference.” The response from the local community has been overwhelmingly positive, with many residents expressing their enthusiasm for participating in this charitable effort.
A1 Trees is collaborating with well-known local charities, including the Children’s Cancer Fund and Yorkshire Cancer Centre, to ensure that the funds raised will directly benefit families facing the challenges of childhood cancer. These organizations have a proven track record of providing vital support services, such as financial assistance and emotional support for affected families.
The collection service is designed to be both convenient and eco-friendly. Residents can schedule a pick-up online, ensuring a hassle-free experience. A1 Trees aims to collect as many trees as possible, with a target of raising £10,000 to support its partner charities.
As the festive season approaches, this initiative highlights the importance of community involvement in charitable causes. It serves as a reminder that even small actions can lead to significant impacts in the lives of those in need.
The firm encourages everyone in the area to participate and spread the word about the tree collection service. By doing so, they hope to foster a spirit of giving during this special time of year while making a tangible difference for children facing serious health challenges.
