Christmas Treecycle
...and raise vital funds for local childhood cancer charity

The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust is delighted to launch its first ever ‘treecycling’ campaign which will take place in January 2021.
We all love a real tree until the time comes to dispose of it after Christmas. Instead of having all those pine needles in the back of your car, the trust can pick it up for you.
The areas that the charity will be covering this year are: WR1, WR4, WR9 and B60. In addition, they will also be covering Barnt Green, Alvechurch, Crowle, Upton Snodsbury, Broughton Hackett, White Ladies Aston and Drakes Broughton.
All you need to do is register for a collection and the GKCCT team will pick up your tree on January 6th, 8th and 9th. Collection date will be confirmed nearer the time once you have registered.
The deadline to register your Christmas tree is Monday, January 4th 2021 at midday. If your tree is over 8ft tall and you wish to book a collection, please contact us in the first instance on 01905 885777 or via email at contact@gkcct.org
There is no minimum donation amount for the team to collect your Christmas tree, however a £10 donation could cover the printing and distribution of 350 of signs and symptoms awareness cards, which could enable a child to be diagnosed with cancer at an earlier stage.
A £15 donation could pay for the production and distribution of 15 information booklets that make things a little less scary for children receiving treatment for cancer.
The Grace Kelly Childhood Cancer Trust, which receives no statutory funding and is reliant on fundraisers and donors, would like to say thank you to everyone who has signed up so far.
The charity still needs more volunteers to help so if you can spare some hours or have a vehicle/van that can be used then please call the GKCCT team on 01905 885777.
This campaign will run in line with current Government guidelines and risk assessments will continually be updated to reflect any changes. For more information please visit www.gkcct.org/treecycle
