Save up your used stamps and help fight childhood cancer
Collecting stamps is a simple way to help a worthy cause without having to dip into your bank account
This Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Friends of Bone Cancer Research Trust has launched an appeal to ask for help collecting stamps as a way of raising money to fund cancer research, and they are reminding everyone how they can make a difference.
Friends of BCRT are a group of people throughout the UK who are raising funds independently for the wonderful Bone Cancer Research Trust charity.
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, and collecting used stamps is a simple way to make a huge difference.
Friends of BCRT are appealing for support by asking people to save their used, new and obsolete postage stamps from the UK and overseas, horizon labels and Royal Mail tracking labels, first day covers and collections etc.
"Every stamp sent to us will help to fund life-saving research into primary bone cancer. Postage stamps are used less and less so if more people know about our requirements, we will hopefully still raise enough money to find a cure for primary bone cancer," says Terri Bush from Friends of BCRT.
They are in great need of postage stamps from anywhere outside mainland UK, including Spain, and also need currency from overseas and obsolete UK notes and coins.
"Why not get your school, church, business, social group or other community group involved?" suggests Terri, who adds that "this is an ongoing appeal so stamps can be sent at any time".
"We are desperate for overseas support so please ask all your friends and family around the world to support us as well!"
"Thank you to everyone who has helped us so far."
Stamps can be sent to:
Friends Of BCRT
20 Bowers Road
Benfleet
Essex
SS7 5PZ
England
The Facebook group is Friends Of BCRT – Postage Stamps & More! so you can follow them. Stamp appeal updates will be added often.
