Caring Christmas Trees

Tuesday October 8 2024

Bethany Christian Trust is again asking tree shoppers to help people without a home this winter by choosing a Caring Christmas Tree.

Bringing festive warmth into their home with a Caring Christmas Tree helps to bring much needed care and support to some of Scotland’s most vulnerable people. Priced from £45 and sustainably grown in Scotland, shoppers can buy a Grade One Nordman fir tree, with 100% of all proceeds going directly to Bethany’s work to support homeless and vulnerable people this winter.

The funding from this social enterprise helps to provide outreach, drop-in support, shelter, befriending, new opportunities and professional support to thousands of people during the harsh winter months.

Caring Christmas Trees has been running in Scotland for almost 20 years. Last year the project sold an incredible 3,330 trees and raised £53,231 towards Bethany's work helping people in need across Scotland.

Regular Caring Christmas Tree customer Fiona said: “I’ve had a Caring Christmas tree for a number of years - I’m glad that my purchase of something that feels luxurious can help someone in need. My tree lasts through till Twelfth Night, it smells fantastic and when I go to pick it up there’s always a great sense of camaraderie amongst the team of volunteers. Everyone wins!”

Caring Christmas Trees will be available to purchase online at  www.caringchristmastrees.com from October 29, or you can preorder now by calling on 0131 561 8948. The trees will be ready for collection at various locations in Edinburgh, East Lothian, Glasgow and Fife in November and December, with an option for delivery also in November and December in both Edinburgh and Glasgow.
