The deadline is approaching to sign up for your Christmas Tree collection helping fundraise for a local hospice and making sure animals at our favourite zoo have a warm, comfortable bedding as the cold weather begins to move in.
Colwyn Bay's Welsh Mountain Zoo, St. Kentigern Hospice and the charitable fundraising organisation Just Helping, have all joined together to give local householders are productive way of disposing of their old Christmas Tree and helping their own charitable causes too.
From January 11th through to the 13th, Just Helping will be collecting trees from right across the area and taking donations for their disposal. The deadline for signing up for a collection is January 8th at 5pm.
This collection will make a huge difference to both the hospice and the wider community. This year they will be supported by some amazing volunteers from Abergele Round Table, Anwyl Construction, Denbigh Round Table, Rotary Club of Abergele, Rotary Club of Denbigh, Rotary Club of Prestatyn, Rotary Club of Rhyl, SP Energy Networks, Thorncliffe and Woods Motorcycles in Colwyn Bay.
Collections can be made from the following postcodes LL15, LL16, LL17, LL18, LL19, LL22, LL29, CH6, CH8
Every penny of your donation goes to making a difference for local people, their carers and families using the services at St Kentigern Hospice.
