You recycled your Christmas Tree and raised money for charity
So that’s it, all over for another year! Between us we have collected and chipped over 350 trees in four days! and all in the name of charity; supporting Kemp Hospice.
It’s been a productive and exhausting few days for us. We started at the crack of dawn on Thursday and finished at dusk last night, stopping for the odd tea break, but no biscuits, plenty of those were had over Christmas!
We just wanted to say THANK YOU.
So what happens to the trees?
Every tree that was collected for the Kemp appeal gets chipped (as shown by the lovely Jason below) and those wood chippings are then sold to raise more money. So it’s a double whammy of fundraising.
ABOUT KEMP- who the fundraising is for
