Seven real Christmas trees have been donated to Halesowen College.
The trees were donated by Midlands-based construction company, BSN Group, as the college launched its Christmas appeal.
The donation includes six indoor trees, which will be placed in reception and student areas, and a 10-foot outdoor tree at the college entrance.
The donation was made as the group continues its work at the college, where it is undertaking a major refurbishment of the Shenstone House campus.
Corinne Youren, estates and facilities director at the college, said: "We are grateful to BSN for their generous donation of seven Christmas trees and supporting the spirit of Christmas at the college.
"The Animal Care Unit will also benefit from these trees once festivities have ended by recycling them into the animal enclosures."
Darren Perry, representing the group, said: "When Halesowen College asked for our help at Christmas, you can’t say no.
"Giving back to local communities is part of our DNA as a business, and it’s a testament to our relationship with Halesowen College that they knew they could pick up the phone and reach out.
"We’re proud to support them and make a difference together."
The college said the trees have been "warmly welcomed" by the college community, adding to the "festive spirit" and creating a "cheerful atmosphere" for students, staff, and visitors.
The college said the donation highlights the "strong collaboration" with the construction company.
The refurbishment of the Shenstone House campus will create a "state-of-the-art learning environment" and a Centre of Excellence for Health and Social Care learners.
