Brothers Dave, Ian and Pete Ruffett have volunteered to collect trees every January for nearly a decade.
Dave Ruffet, 68, from Newport Pagnell, said they started volunteering after their father was cared for by the hospice.
“We lost our father in 2017 to cancer and Willen Hospice was fantastic in the final weeks of his life with at-home care.
“Our mother volunteered at the coffee shop in Newport Pagnell until she was 80. It’s just something we put in our diary every year and come out and do,” he said.
Ian Ruffett, 64, also helps out with the hospice’s Santa Dash, adding: “Everyone dresses up as Santa Claus, all ages, and they run round the two Willen lakes here. It’s a really good day.”
The brothers borrow a van to be able to collect the trees. “We start at 08:00 GMT in the morning and we have quite a big round to do,” said Dave.
“It’s for a worthy cause and it’s a good time for the three of us, bonding as brothers,” he said smiling.
“We have a laugh along the way,” added Ian.
