MAY I thank the customers of Sainsbury's and passers by in the Shirley Precinct who gave generously to our collectors on May 25 and 26.

We collected £998.54 which will be going towards our latest appeal which is to provide extra nurses at the three main centres in Hampshire and provide financial support to those whose lives are affected by cancer.

The support we receive from the staff at the stores is invaluable as without their assistance we could not organise these collection. We also need collectors to help us in our cause so if you can spare two hours on a Friday or Saturday please ring me on 023 8055 4238.

Again thank you to those who donated, those who helped with their time and support.

KEN STREET, voluntary collection organiser.
