EyUp! in partnership with Just Helping collected and recycled Christmas trees in our local communities.
Working together, our volunteers collected 300 trees from Wakefield, Castleford, Knottingley, Pontefract, Barnsley, Doncaster and York. After collection, the trees were taken to Woolley Edge Christmas Tree Farm to be chipped and reused responsibly.
Thank you to everyone who donated to EyUp! and our volunteers from Amey, and our York collection team, Paul and William, who dedicated their time and resources.
Lisa Bradbury, community and event fundraiser officer at EyUp! commented “We’ve been exploring different ways to raise money while also making a positive impact on our environment. This campaign has been a great way to support our service users and communities whilst also promoting more sustainable practices.
“We’re grateful to everyone involved in helping make it such a success, and we’re already looking forward to organising our collection for 2027.
