Booking your Treecycle collection is easy and it helps make a real difference. 🌲

If you’ve got a real Christmas tree and would like us to collect and recycle it for you, here’s how it works:
1️⃣ Visit www.barnsleyhospice.org/treecycle and book your collection by making a donation.
2️⃣ On Saturday 10 January 2026, place your tree in a clear and accessible spot outside your property.
3️⃣ Sit back and relax - our teams will collect your tree on Sunday 11 January 2026 for recycling.

Every tree collected helps raise vital funds to support the specialist palliative and end of life care we provide to local people and their families across Barnsley. 🧡

Having trouble booking? - If you’re experiencing any issues with the online form, please email our team at fundraising@barnsley-hospice.org and they’ll be happy to help get your collection booked. 🎄

Thank you so much for your patience and support - every tree truly makes a difference. 🧡

Thank you so much to the Barnsley Football Club for coming to the hospice today for another Christmas visit - and sing-song! 🎵

The players kindly took the time to sit, chat and take pictures with our patients and staff, and even handed out handwritten cards and Christmas chocolates. With some big Reds fans under our roof, it really makes such a difference and brings lots of smiles to faces during the festive season. 🧡

A special thank you also to our friend Tom Masters, who joined us to bring some musical joy and get everyone in the spirit. What a day! 🎄
