How much should I donate?

Plus icon Minus icon

There is no set donation for your Treecycle collection, you can make a donation of your choice. All the donations raised through Treecycle will help us to support more patients and families throughout North East Worcestershire.

Don’t forget if you are a UK tax payer you can also Gift Aid your donation. Gift Aid is a government scheme for UK charities to reclaim the tax you have paid and gain 25% more at no extra cost or hassle to you. Where possible, please can you consider adding Gift Aid to your donation if you are a UK taxpayer.

Please see our website for further information about the difference your donation will make towards our free specialist care.

If we are expecting bad weather nearer to the event we will contact everyone who has registered for their Treecycle collection to inform you of our plans. We will do everything we can to collect your tree as close to our collection weekend (7th-8th January) as we can. The safety of our volunteers is paramount and we will be guided by weather warnings. Please keep an eye out for emails from us if there are severe weather warnings in place.
