REGISTRATION is now open for those who want a convenient way to dispose of their real Christmas trees - while raising money for a vital Ulverston service.

In return of a donation to St Mary's Hospice, the team will arrange the removal of your tree in the new year.

Last year the popular scheme raised more than £5,000.

This year the hospice has decided to make the fundraiser extra special by pledging to donate 10 per cent of the funds to Barrow Foodbank.
