Children's hospice seeks volunteers for Christmas tree recycling

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 22 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

Julia's House is recruiting volunteers in Dorset to collect and recycle Christmas trees in January 2027 to raise funds for seriously ill children.

Julia's House, a children's hospice providing care for seriously ill children and their families across Dorset and Wiltshire, is recruiting volunteers for its annual Christmas tree recycling scheme. The collection will take place January 7–9, 2027, across postcode areas BH1 to BH23 and BH31.

The charity seeks volunteers to help collect and recycle real Christmas trees, distribute promotional flyers, and staff its recycling hub at Eco Sustainable Solutions. It is particularly keen to recruit people with access to vans or trucks. No previous experience is required, and volunteers can contribute as much time as they are able.

Last year's scheme raised more than £27,000 through donations from supporters. Katie Thompson, business and community fundraiser at Julia's House, said: 'Our Christmas tree recycling scheme has become such a highlight of our fundraising calendar, but it simply wouldn't be possible without the wonderful volunteers and local businesses who give their time and energy to help us collect hundreds of trees.'
