Fundraising Thanks
Christmas Tree Collection
Start the new year with a meaningful and festive tradition.
Thanks to our amazing supporters, last year’s collection was
our most successful yet. Together we raised over £26,000
and collected more than 1,700 trees across West Lancashire,
Southport and Formby!
From Friday 9th January to Sunday 11th January 2026, our
dedicated team of volunteers will once again be out in full force,
collecting trees from homes and businesses across the region.
By booking your tree collection, you’ll not only recycle
responsibly but also help fund the vital work of
#teamqueenscourt, providing compassionate care and
support when it matters most.
Visit www.queenscourt.org.uk/trees to book your collection and
get your Christmas declutter organised early!
This is Hospice Care
Thank you to everyone who has reached out and asked for more
information on the ‘This is Hospice Care’ campaign so far.
We’re proud to be joining 142 hospices across England, Scotland and Wales
to raise awareness and protect the future of hospice care.
Please help Queenscourt protect the future
of hospice care in our community by leaving
a Gift in your Will.
Hospice care for now, for all, forever!

Carragher, Matthew Strong, Sue Hardiker, Kelly Barker, Steven Wright, Maria
Stilianou, Jess Wall, Gaz Johnson, Fiona Foulder, June Jones, Sophie Horne, Lucy

If you’ve been inspired to take the leap, our next skydive takes place on
Sunday 7th June 2026.
Queenscourt Runners Brave the Storm at Southport Seaside 10K
Rain, wind and grey skies couldn’t dampen the spirit of Team
Queenscourt at this year’s Southport Seaside 10K, where
Queenscourt Hospice were the o昀케cial charity partner for the race.
From 昀椀rst-time runners to seasoned athletes, each step taken was
in support of their local hospice, and together they raised an
outstanding £16,000.
A huge thank you to everyone who took part and to those who cheered
on the runners, to the cast of the Queenscourt Musical Theatre Company,
who volunteered on the day with a Teddy Tombola and to David Rowell
Ltd for generously donating their van to help us load and unload
everything we needed.
