Our National Christmas Tree Collection triumphantly raised over £975,000 last year. The successful annual event continues to grow partly thanks to the multitude of corporate partnership across all of our collections. We want to take this opportunity to give a big shout-out to all of our partners that lend us support every year!
Stobart Energy
Esken Renewables (formerly known as Stobart Energy) is the UK’s number one supplier of biomass and a key component in our St Ann’s Collection in Manchester. Esken’s core business is to supply biomass fuels that are processed from waste wood and by-products. For the past two years, they have provided the St Ann’s Collection with skips to chip the trees. On top of that, Esken take these chippings away to produce renewable energy in a clean incinerator.
A Win-Win-Win
Both JustHelping and Esken share the same vision of making the planet greener. We aim to collect and dispose our trees in the most sustainable way possible and Esken provides us with a way that does so. This upholds our guarantee to supporters that your trees are collected, recycled and that your donation goes straight back into YOUR community! It’s a win-win-win!!
Thank you Note
Needless to say, JustHelping express our utmost gratitude to Esken Renewables and we look forward to working together in the future.
On a side note, JustHelping would also like to thank all the corporates that promote us for their CSR days. The bad news is the list is too long we can’t name all of them in one post but stay tuned for our future posts as we have a lot of thanking to do!! Corporate employees provide a fantastic network of energetic and passionate volunteers, and we are always on the lookout for new partnerships!
