One thousand trees were collected in two days, and more than 300 more were picked up on the third. Dale Mulgrew, events fundraiser at the hospice, said: “Thank you to all our hardworking and dedicated team of volunteers for their superb efforts collecting more than 1,300 Christmas trees. Volunteer opportunities at the hospice are varied and cover a multitude of opportunities ranging from: Christmas tree collections, administrative roles, or warehouse support, to name but a few options. We are currently looking for people who can spare some free time to help in some of our hospice shops, particularly on the weekends.
