Have you decked the halls and decorated for Christmas? 🎄✨

When the Christmas tree eventually comes down, we’re here to make the clean-up that little bit easier! This New Year, our wonderful volunteers will be giving their time to collect real Christmas trees from across Blackburn, Darwen, Hyndburn, and the Ribble Valley.

For a donation of just £8, we’ll collect your tree directly from your doorstep, and every single tree will be mulched and reused locally, helping give back to the community in more ways than one.

Book your collection today between January 9th and 11th: https://bit.ly/48gkug1

🤒

You can usually treat a cold or flu at home without seeing a GP. Here are some things you can do to help you get better more quickly:

✅ DO:
Get plenty of rest. Take paracetamol or ibuprofen to lower your temperature. Drink a hot lemon and honey drink to soothe a sore throat. Drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.

❌ DON'T:
Give aspirin to children under the age of 16. Smoke as this can make your symptoms worse. Give honey to babies under 12 months.
