Fantastic Festive Fundraising
Willen Hospice is one of the best-known and best-loved organisations in Milton Keynes. The care they provide for the sick and vulnerable in our city is unparalleled, and the least we can do is give them something in return.
This Christmas, Willen have organised a sackful of fundraising events which they would love to have support for from the city community. If you can staff a stall or hold a donation bucket, you can make a difference and help one of Milton Keynes’ most vital services.
See the list of events below and email to communityfundraising@willen-hospice.org.uk with your availability.

Christmas Tree Collections:
Every year, Willen Hospice organise the collection of thousands of Christmas trees in January in exchange for a donation. The trees are then chipped by parish councils and the chippings are put to good use in the city’s landscaping. Last year’s collection raised over £30,000!
The trees are all collected by volunteers using their own vans, so if you can lend your support – and your wheels! – please let them know.
Thank you for your support.
