About our charity
:
Trees for Cities
Trees for Cities is an independent charity working to improve the environment in urban areas by involving local people in community tree planting, training and landscaping projects.
We manage projects across London, in Brighton, Bristol, Leeds, Manchester, the Midlands and Reading as well as internationally in Addis Ababa, Nairobi and Ica, Peru. All our community greening projects are supported by extensive community consultation and involvement programmes that incorporate local residents, schools and community groups.
As well as educating local people about our projects, in London we also run a series of horticulture, arboriculture and woodland management courses specialising in developing and up-skilling the long-term unemployed.

| Our personal message: |
This year, George Pickvance has joined the BT Devices team, as it sets out to complete the gruelling 3 Peaks Challenge in under 9 hours! (last completed in a record time of 9hrs 19mins). We have been completing training runs and wearing in our walking boots....however, we have have no illusions about the exhaustion and the blisters...and how good a beer will taste at the settle pub after the event! This year we have selected a fantastic charity call "Trees for Cities", who have recently been advising Boris Johnston on urban regeneration and greening for deprived and neglected boroughs of London. Reaching our fundraising target of £500 will motivate us to keep running over the 3rd peak when the exhaustion has truly set in.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Trees for Cities gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Thankyou for your support!
