Sheffield Hospital Charity will pick up and recycle your real Christmas tree to create chippings for local farms and allotments, in exchange for a donation to support Sheffield’s NHS.
Not only that but this year Sheffield Hospital Charity will be making use of the Community Hall to coordinate the collection of trees around the Fulwood/Hallam area - so do say Hi to the volunteer drivers if you see them around!.
All you need to do is visit www.just-helping.org.uk/register-tree to register your tree for recycling in exchange for a donation of any size to Sheffield Hospitals Charity.
The Library book box
The Library book box, previously at Spider Park, is being relocated to the Crimcar Lane at the entrance to the pathway to Spider Park where it is hoped the box will not suffer from as much damage as when it was in Spider Park.
The Library book boxes (there is another one near Hallam Primary School on Redmires Road) allow anyone to take, donate, or exchange books and promoting access to reading for all.
