Switch to digital to help plant trees in the UK - Trees for Cities partnership
By switching to digital statements, you can help raise money to plant urban trees within the UK through our partnership with Trees for Cities.
For every customer who switches from paper to digital statements, we’ll make a one-time donation of 10p to Trees for Cities to help make our urban areas greener and healthier for generations to come. With over 80% of the UK population living within urban areas, planting trees in cities absorbs CO2 and purifies our air, while also creating green community spaces.
Last year, we managed to plant over 550 trees through our previous partnership thanks to the 27,500 customers who made the switch.
Who are Trees for Cities?
Trees for Cities is a UK charity who work on a local and international scale to improve lives by planting urban trees. They help local communities to revitalise spaces, create healthier environments, and engage with local people to get them excited about growing, foraging, and eating healthy foods.
Since 1993, Trees for Cities have planted over 1.2 million trees and worked with more than 140,000 volunteers. If you would like to get involved with one of their projects, check out their volunteer page. Or, by donating just £6 to Trees for Cities you will be raising enough money to plant 1 tree in an urban woodland.
