Hear from the people behind the Christmas TreeCycle Appeal

“We wouldn’t be able to deliver a collection on this scale without the support of Just Helping."

“Having that expertise, and being able to talk to real people who understand what we need, makes a huge difference.”

“I’m most proud of how the community comes together — people from all walks of life just want to get involved"

“Partnering with Just Helping makes the whole process so much easier”

“Our Christmas Tree Collection is a major aspect of our Christmas fundraising, and partnering with Just Helping makes the whole process so much easier, allowing us to focus on the experience of our supporters.

Having Just Helping to work alongside the hospice makes managing the project so much easier, as they deal with all of the supporters booking in their trees, routing for our volunteer collectors and all of the volunteer Ts&Cs. They also helped us secure some volunteers to help out as well.

Christmas time is hectic enough in fundraising, so to have all of this taken care of by Georgia and the team at Just Helping made everything so much easier. We received some real positive feedback from our volunteer collectors who said that from their side of things, accessing the app with all of the routes was easy, as was the whole process of getting signed up to take part.

Getting volunteers can sometimes be a challenge, so to have the admin side of things that Just Helping run be easy to manage, and not a barrier to entry, was a massive plus for us 😊”

“A simple, sustainable way to recycle real Christmas trees while raising vital funds”

“Manchester City Council is proud to have partnered with Just Helping for several years to support their annual Christmas Tree Recycling campaign. This valued collaboration offers residents a simple, sustainable way to recycle their real Christmas trees, while also raising vital funds for local Manchester charities.

For a small donation, Just Helping collects trees directly from households, with all monies raised supporting good causes across the city.

Together, these efforts help promote sustainability, strengthen communities, and support the incredible work of charities across Manchester.”

“Kier is thrilled to extend our support to Just Helping”

“Kier is thrilled to extend our support to Just Helping with the national Christmas tree collection this January, building on two successful years of local efforts in East Anglia for Break and EACH charities, with many of our projects offering vans and volunteers to support this year’s collection.

This initiative not only aligns with our sustainability strategy, it actively involves our people and our projects across the country, utilising our resources to benefit local communities and charities.

At Kier, volunteering is a valued aspect of our employee benefits, with all colleagues encouraged to use the two volunteering days they receive annually to support causes they are passionate about.

Participating in the Christmas tree collection is a practical way for our teams to contribute to environmental sustainability through recycling, whilst generating much-needed financial support for charities, hospices, community and volunteer groups across the UK.”
