Green-tech ends the year on a high by surpassing its charity target for St Leonard’s Hospice

Green‑tech is delighted with the success of its 2025 charity fundraising campaign for St Leonard’s Hospice, York. Their efforts have raised over £1,600.

Green‑tech is the UK’s leading landscape provider, supplying products that help create greener, more resilient and biodiverse spaces across urban and rural environments. Alongside this work, supporting the local community is central to the company’s ethos.

St Leonard’s Hospice provides specialist palliative care and support for patients and families across York and the surrounding areas, both in the hospice and in people’s own homes.

The Green-tech team set itself a £1,000 fundraising target for the year and has come together through raffles, food events and a variety of activities. These initiatives have raised vital funds for a cause that touches many lives.

“As a business rooted in Yorkshire, we understand the importance of giving back,” said Kris Nellist, Managing Director of Green‑tech. “I am so proud of the way our team has thrown themselves into this fundraiser. Every donation, raffle ticket and shared meal helps bring comfort and care to people at a difficult time. It is great to see Green-tech making a real difference for families in our community.”

Green‑tech would like to thank everyone who has taken part and donated. The team is delighted to be finishing the year exceeding its fundraising target.
