Four colleagues from our Concrete Products site at Buxton volunteered a day to help collect Christmas trees from around the Derbyshire area to raise funding for Blythe House Hospice.

Blythe House Hospicecare, in partnership with Helen’s Trust, offers a wide rande of free services to care for, and support, anyone in the High Peak, Hope Valley, Derbyshire Dales and North East Derbyshire who is affected by life – limiting illness.

Donna Woolliscroft, Jason Salt, Mark Green and Dave Robinson all gave a day to help. They travelled around the surrounding villages/ towns and helped other volunteers to collect Christmas trees.

All the Christmas trees are recycled, and the volunteers managed to collect a record amount this year with over 550 trees which has raised over £8,000.

Paul Kania, Miller Operations Manager, commented: “This is a fantastic achievement and will aid the hospice to carry on doing the amazing work they do. Thanks Donna for arranging the day.”
