More than £3,800 has been raised for a Billericay charity following its most successful Christmas tree recycling campaign to date.
Hamelin, which supports autistic adults and people with learning disabilities, collected and recycled 193 Christmas trees this year — nearly double the number from 2023.
The charity said the generous donations will make a real difference to its work creating opportunities for the people it supports.
A spokesman said: "We are incredibly grateful to our fantastic volunteers who were out collecting trees, and to the local businesses who provided vehicles and extra helping hands."

Thanks were also extended to Ford Motor Company, World of Spice Ltd, Clarke Infinity Ltd, Box Productions, Essex Fire Museum, and many garden centres and councils who helped promote the scheme.
The fundraiser was delivered in partnership with Just Helping, and Hamelin thanked the whole community for their support.
A spokesman added: “Your support means so much to us, thank you."
