A charity has raised more than £32,000.
Enham Trust, based in Hampshire, reached the fundraising total through a series of festive events held in November and December last year.
The events took place in the village of Enham Alamein and included a wreath-making workshop, a Christmas celebration for the village lights switch-on, a stall at The Cleveland Bay pub's Christmas market, and multiple "Pick Your Own" Christmas tree sale days in their own fields.
Together, the activities raised a total of £32,243.06 to support the charity's mission of helping disabled people to live, work, and enjoy life.
Lily Haig, community and corporate partnerships manager at Enham Trust, said: “A big Thank You to all the volunteers we had over the festive period. From supporting with our Christmas at Enham event, to prepping the Christmas Tree field for sale days, as well as helping out during our 'Pick Your Own' sale days too!

"Thank you also to all those that came along to our Christmas events, we are so thrilled with the incredible amount raised, helping us to support disabled people to live, work and enjoy life.”
A large portion of the funds came from the charity's 20,000-strong Nordmann Fir Christmas tree field gates reopening to the public for the season.
Visitors were invited to select their very own trees straight out of the ground, contributing to record-breaking visitor numbers and a record-breaking fundraising total from the Christmas events.
The "Pick Your Own" experience proved popular, with attendees taking to social media to share their festive stories and express their happiness at supporting a good cause.
Enham Trust is now gathering feedback on the experience through a survey, to help shape their future marketing materials and raise awareness of Enham’s Christmas tree field so they can support even more disabled people to thrive.
Enham Trust has also extended its thanks to everyone who attended or volunteered during the festive season.
Ms Haig said the funds raised will help support disabled people to live, work and enjoy life.
Those who would like to support Enham Trust are encouraged to visit the charity’s website.
