CELEBRATING OUR ST ANN’S COLLECTION
It was great to finally visit St Ann’s Hospice in Little Houlton and celebrate the JustHelping Christmas Tree Collection which raised £42,166.76 for St Ann’s Hospice. Our
JustHelping volunteer team, led by Iain and Fiona and supported fantastically by Kay, Amanda and Mark, have done remarkable work in building and expanding their Christmas Tree
Collection across South
Manchester. This allows
JustHelping to support
St Ann’s Hospice in providing specialist palliative care for people with life-limiting conditions, at all stages of their illness.
Our Christmas Tree Collection is an enjoyable event which brings the community together. This year, we were able to assemble 120 volunteers who helped spread awareness, collect and recycle trees. We are immensely grateful to all of the individuals, organisations and corporates who supported the execution of this collection. We would like to especially thank everyone involved in the sponsorship, design and delivery of all of our marketing materials. Every posted leaflet, placed banner and shared social media post invaluably helps to spread the word of the amazing work that we do. Thank you!! JustHelping is immensely grateful for those who provide us with venues, tree chippers and vans. Your generosity and support enabled the collection and recycling of 3,468 Christmas trees in the South Manchester Area. All of our corporate support is invaluable in the execution of the event. Local businesses who lend their staff on CSR days are instrumental in helping collect and recycle the trees. We are immensely grateful for the hard work and energy of their volunteers during the collection period. We hope you found the event enjoyable and rewarding. Corporate sponsorship in all elements of the collection helps subsidise our collection costs; allowing JustHelping to donate a more significant sum to St Ann’s Hospice and the thirteen local non-profit organisations, such as sports clubs, scout troops and other local group. Our Christmas Tree Collections are solely dependent on our amazing volunteers and the inspiring work that they do before, during and after the Christmas period. We pride our Christmas Tree Collection as an immensely enjoyable and rewarding day. We are always looking for new energy, skills and experience to help expand our collection. The success of our collections derives from the people who organise and deliver them. Whether it’s collecting trees, canvassing leaflets, or getting involved in the organisational elements. Don’t hesitate - get involved!
