BEFORE you next go to throw away your next envelope, which has a stamp attached, please think that by simply saving that stamp, you could be helping a young child who has kidney failure.

The British Kidney Patient Association needs your used postage stamps, foreign coins, air mile vouchers only and other collectable items to help us raise much-needed funds. We really do appreciate any items you can send and many thanks for doing this on our behalf.

The money raised by us selling these items goes towards giving young kidney patients a week of fun and excitement at Adventure Holiday Centres or even a sailing course on the Isle of Wight, as part of a rehabilitation programme.

So please, we beg, save your foreign coins, stamps etc, and put them to a charitable use by sending them to: MRS MARY K JORDAN, Appeals Secretary, The British Kidney Patient Association, Bordon, Hampshire.
