Christmas tree farmer helps those in need with Foodbank donation

16th January 2024

 

Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm’s seasonal fundraising efforts resulted in a donation of more than £1,000 to the Bexhill Foodbank.

During the 2023 festive season Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm supported the Bexhill Foodbank with 30p from each tree sold being added to the fund.

​

Owner of Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm Clive Collins explains: “We have many shared values with Bexhill Foodbank and decided we wanted to help local people in need.”

​

Volunteers Manager Jenni Barnes said: “We were delighted that Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm decided to support Bexhill Foodbank last year with a huge donation of £1,170.

​

“This money will be used to buy fruit, vegetables and eggs for the winter for both our Bexhill and Battle branches. We use our local greengrocer 'Carrolls', Sidley - so our clients can have a choice of local fresh produce to add to their food parcel.

“We are most thankful for this welcomed support, it makes a real difference to local people in need.''

​

Clive has decided to support Bexhill Foodbank again in 2024. Every year Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm raises money for a chosen charity. Previous beneficiaries have included Little Common, Scouts and Ninfield and Crowhurst Scouts, The Spinal Injuries Association and The Kent, Sussex and Surrey Air Ambulance.

​

Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm has been operating in East Sussex for over 30 years and has one simple mission – to provide the best-quality trees in Sussex at the best possible prices. There is also a festive shop selling the largest selection of Christmas decorations in Sussex. The team understands the importance of good customer service and delivering the complete Christmas experience to customers.
