Bethany Christian Trust asks that people in Edinburgh choose a Caring Christmas Tree to help people without a home this winter.
Buying from the charity 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 the 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 3,330 trees and raised £53,231 towards its work.
Regular 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 are available to purchase online www.caringchristmastrees.com or by calling 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.
