Christmas trees to be collected to raise funds for end-of-life care in Wolverhampton
Crompton Care are recycling real Christmas trees for a donation in return
A charity giving palliative care to people in Wolverhampton is offering to collect and recycle real Christmas trees, in exchange for a donation.
The funds go to Crompton Care, who do not ask for a set amount to be donated.
What do Crompton Care do?
Last year the charity was able to collect 1,100 trees and raised around £22,000.
The money can then go towards clinical care for people with life-limiting conditions who are choosing to live at home, or on their inpatient unit.
Crompton Care also offers support to the patient's family, including bereavement support.
How will the trees be recycled?
The trees are shredded and turned to biofuel.
Collections take place between 9th - 12th January 2026 to anyone living in a WV, DY3, WS2, WS6, WS3 and WS10 postcode.
You can sign up to get your tree collected here.
'When they need us most'
Rachel Overfield, Chief Executive Officer at Compton Care said:
“We would like to say a big thank you to the City of Wolverhampton Council for supporting the campaign again this year and to everyone who has generously treecycled with us in the past.
"By supporting us this Christmas, your donation will contribute to the specialist care we provide to local people when they need us most.”
'Vital services'
The Mayor of Wolverhampton, Councillor Craig Collingswood, who has selected Compton Care as one of his chosen charities to support during his term in office said:
“Compton Care does incredible work in our communities all year round and its Treecycling scheme is a great way to support them.
"It really is a win-win, just register your tree, the team will collect and dispose of it in an environmentally-friendly way, and your donation will help them continue to provide vital services to local people and their families”.
