Young Farmers donate thousands to charities after Christmas tree collection

Knaresborough Young Farmers have donated £1,750 to St Michael's Hospice.

Knaresborough Young Farmers have donated £1,750 to two local charities after collecting unwanted Christmas trees.

The group amassed more than 950 trees in January for a charge of just £5 per tree.

They collected trees from Harrogate, Pannal, Starbeck, Knaresborough and the surrounding villages.

And the young farmers were able to raise £1,751 each for both St Michael’s Hospice and British Heart Foundation.

A spokesperson for St Michael’s said:

“A huge thank you to the amazing Knaresborough Young Farmers for raising an incredible £1,750 through their Christmas tree collection this January!  

“We’re so grateful for your continued support.”
