Dorothy House Hospice Care is running its third annual charity Christmas tree collection fundraiser in partnership with the Justhelping charity.

Over 1,000 trees were collected last January in nine postcodes and Dorothy House doubled the funds raised by the 2017 collection to over £13,000.

Dorothy House hopes to double this sum again in January 2019 and already has 900 trees booked for collection.

This year the charity is offering Christmas tree collections in BA1 and BA2 in Bath and North East Somerset and BA11, BA12, BA13, BA14, BA15, SN12 and SN13 in Somerset and Wiltshire.

Dorothy House supporters and volunteers will collect only pre-booked Christmas trees between January 11 and 13 in exchange for an online charitable donation.
