Collect stamps for bone cancer charity

I AM writing to you on behalf of the Bone Cancer Research Trust to ask for your help this festive season.

More postage stamps are used in December than any other time of the year. We are appealing for your support this Christmas by asking your readers to save their stamps and help to fund life-saving research into primary bone cancer.

It’s really easy for your readers to get involved and I’ve included some copy below to include in your publication or even share across your social media channels.

Christmas is coming and soon you’ll be getting Christmas cards in the post! But what are you going to do with all those used stamps? The Bone Cancer Research Trust has the answer... The Bone Cancer Research Trust Stamp Appeal.

Getting involved could not be easier! All you need to do is save your used stamps or horizon labels from the UK or overseas. If you are a business, shop or public service you could even have a collection box for people to drop off their stamps. Your stamps will be recycled and turned into life-saving funds.

Primary bone cancer can occur at any age, but affects mostly children, teenagers, young adults and the elderly.

Every 10 minutes somewhere in the world someone is diagnosed with primary bone cancer. Collecting used stamps is a simple way to make a huge difference.

You can order a free Stamp Appeal pack by visiting: www.bcrt.org.uk/ stamps. Or join their Facebook group: Bone Cancer Research Trust Stamp Appeal. Please send your used stamps to BCRT Stamp Appeal, 20 Bowers Road, Benfleet, Essex, England, SS7 5PZ

Thank you for your time and consideration in this urgent appeal.

Until there’s a cure...
