Save stamps to help Kidney Care

I wanted to appeal to your readers to ask them to hold on to their used stamps this Christmas and donate them to Kidney Care UK to help us raise much needed funds for kidney patients.

Every Christmas more than 1 billion cards are sent in the UK and for every 1kg of used stamps donated we can raise as much as £20 to help people with chronic kidney disease.

There are 64,000 people being treated for kidney failure in the UK right now and 51 people are currently waiting for a kidney transplant in Cambridgeshire.

Your support will help us to provide practical, financial and emotional support for kidney patients and their families.

We believe no-one should face kidney disease alone, and especially not at Christmas.

You can read and download our step by step guide to collecting and donating used stamps at www.kidneycareuk. org

Finally, we hope all of your readers have a wonderful Christmas and a fantastic New Year, Paddy Tabor Kidney Care UK

I explained this could be relived at the various Reunions held around the country and that these were listed on the www.rnshipmates.co.uk site under “Reunions.”

It made a lot of ex Servicemen think back. They have emailed me on royalnavyreunions@gmail.com and the secretaries of various associations have contacted me;

consequence? A lot more reunions are listed. But that is not all, following a request about a Reunions Listing for those who have served in the Royal Air Force; there is now one available by email. Not many on it at present, so ex RAF?

Let’s have those reunions emailed to me on royalairforcereunions@gmail.com
