Blue Diamond Garden Centres are partnering with Hospice UK to launch a heartwarming festive initiative, by donating real Christmas trees to hospices located near to each of its 52 garden centres. 

The company is also arranging special visits from Santa himself – spreading joy, sharing gifts, and creating magical moments for patients and their families.

Blue Diamond’s Group Relationship Manager, Jill Kerr says: “We are honoured to partner with Hospice UK during this special time of year. Hospices play an extraordinary role in providing compassionate palliative care, helping people live with comfort, dignity, and love. Supporting their work is truly a privilege.”

“We hope that our Christmas trees and Santa visits bring warmth and joy to families, lifting festive spirits and creating treasured memories for everyone involved.”

As the national charity for hospice and end of life care, Hospice UK represents a community of more than 200 hospices across the UK that are members of the organisation. 

Every year, its hospices care for 310,000 people living with life-limiting conditions or facing the end of their life. They provide bereavement, counselling, and practical support to 92,000 of those dear to them.

Hospice UK’s Mike Clarke says: “We are so grateful for this wonderful act of festive goodwill from Blue Diamond which will help to bring comfort to the residents and families that we care for. Many hospices are really struggling at the moment, so support like this really matters. I hope it inspires other companies to support their local hospices too.”

The Christmas tree deliveries and Santa visits will take place throughout November and December.
