Rotarians to collect Christmas trees for charity donation
If you live in Longridge, Goosnargh, Grimsargh, Cottam, Fulwood, Broughton or Ribchester your tree can be collected on the weekend of January 11/12 for a charity donation of £5.
Proceeds will go to The Alzheimer’s Society, North West Air Ambulance and Rotary charitable causes.

The trees will be donated for use on the Fylde coast to help support sand dunes which have not yet got plant cover.
Rotarian Paul Bond said: "We use the trees to help prevent coastal erosion and create a new wildlife habitat. The money goes to charity and it's a good environmental cause. We're hoping it will resonate with the public."
