Lewis-Manning Hospice Care has launched its Christmas tree collection service.

The service is in its third year and users are urged to support the hospice again by registering for their tree collection online.

All Bournemouth and Poole postcodes are covered and collections will take place on 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th January 2021.

Bookings close on 3rd January 2021.

Volunteer drivers are also being recruited to support the initiative.

Anyone interested in helping out is urged to email fundraisingteam@lewis-manning.org.uk or call 01202 708470.

Area fundraiser Ruth Wright said: “We are delighted to have extended our reach this year and to be servicing all Bournemouth and Poole postcodes.

"We are very kindly being supported by several Dorset businesses.

"Eco Sustainable Solutions will be carrying out chipping on their site for free and the chips will be used for recycling purposes. Tower Park are offering space to allow us to have a chipper machine on site too.

VW Breeze and Abacus Vehicle Hire will be providing a van each to support our collection services. Dorset Tree Surgeons will be volunteering manpower and providing a chipper for a day at Tower Park. EasyStorage.com will be volunteering staff and a van for two days.
