Skip the Tip and Fundraise for Local Hospice Care

Sussex-based Waterstream, the UK’s leading luxury swimming pool specialist, is supporting St Catherine’s Hospice’s annual Christmas Tree Collection on Friday, 9th January 2026. This community-driven initiative helps raise vital funds for local hospice care while offering a convenient and eco-friendly way to recycle festive trees.

In partnership with the charity JustHelping, the Waterstream team is encouraging people to ‘skip the tip’ with volunteers collecting Christmas trees – saving time, effort, and hassle after the busy festive season. Homeowners can book a collection and simply leave their tree outside their home to be collected, in return for a suggested donation of £20 to St Catherine’s Hospice.

Waterstream Managing Director Alex Kemsley comments:

“We’re proud to support St Catherine’s Hospice in this initiative. It brings our community together, helps to recycle their trees responsibly, and most importantly, contributes to a cause that makes a real difference to local families.”

By partnering with St Catherine’s Hospice, Waterstream is helping to ensure that families across the region receive the compassionate hospice care that is so vitally needed.
