A charity project organised by young farmers in Knaresborough has proved so popular, it has been expanded before it has even started.


Knaresborough Young Farmers Club planned to visit villages around the area next Saturday, January 7, to pick up trees in exchange for a £5 donation to mental health charity Mind.


Demand for the collection has already been so high that the collection has been extended to include Knaresborough and Harrogate by arrangement.


A tractor and trailer will be taken through each village, with club members on foot. They will call at each house where a tree has been left out to organise the donation to the Just Giving page or by bank transfer.


Households also have the option of taking their tree to Manse Lane in Knaresborough between 9am and 3.30pm for a £3 donation.


Club chairman Katy Addyman said:



"Our club is well known for our annual tractor run, but since that was set up we've had an increase in junior members aged 10 to 16 and they now create the vast majority of the club.
"We wanted to arrange something where all of our members can get involved in some way and help raise money for a great cause.
"This wouldn't be possible without Andway Healthcare, who are allowing us to use their car park on Manse lane, and Travis Perkins for providing us with a chipper, and our very generous club leaders who have put the time and effort in behind the scenes."


The villages on the collection route are: Brearton, Coneythorpe, Farnham, Ferrensby, Flaxby, Follifoot, Goldsborough, Kirkby Overblow, Kirk Deighton, Lingerfield, Little Ribston, Nidd, North Deighton, Ripley, Scotton, and Spofforth.


Anyone in Knaresborough or Harrogate who wants to arrange a collection can complete the online formor call Katy on 07443 650033.
