I WANTED to appeal to your readers to ask them about 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 a billion cards are sent in the UK and for every kilogram 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, with 178 in Hampshire and 70 people in Wiltshire currently waiting for a transplant.
Your support will help us to provide practical, financial and emotional support for patients and their families when they need it most.
You can read and download our step by step guide to collecting and donating used stamps at www.kidneycareuk.org.
