A SCOTTISH homelessness charity is urging shoppers to buy ethical Christmas trees this festive season.
Bethany Christian Trust is giving customers the opportunity to help save a life by buying sustainably grown Grade One Nordman fir trees from their Caring Christmas Trees enterprise.
All funds raised from the Scotland grown trees will directly support the charity’s Care Shelter and other winter projects.
Bethany’s Winter Care Shelter provides a hot meal and a safe place to sleep for people in Scotland with nowhere to go during the coldest months of the year.
Caring Christmas Trees has been running for 16 years and their trees are available in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Fife at various pickup locations in December.
The trees are also available for delivery at the end of November in both Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Commenting on this year’s Caring Christmas Trees programme, Kevin Downie, Project Coordinator at Bethany Christian Trust said: “I am delighted to see Bethany’s Caring Christmas Trees project back on this year.
“For the past 16 years, we have been giving folk across Scotland the chance to make a purchase with purpose. Of course you could buy your tree elsewhere; but with Caring Christmas Trees you not only get a beautiful real tree, you get to make a difference in someone’s life.
