TreeStation is a Society for the Benefit of the Community (FSA Reg No. 31552R). That means we exist to serve Manchester and the surrounding area, not to generate profit for shareholders. There are several ways you can be part of what we do.

Membership costs £1. That single share gives you:

You can invest in TreeStation through share purchases. Your money directly supports a social enterprise that creates jobs, manages woodlands and supplies renewable fuel in Greater Manchester.
Social Investment Tax Relief may be available on share investments.
