Spare StampsWe collect stamps for the Leprosy Mission. It is hard to believe that a bunch of used stamps can help transform the life of someone affected by leprosy. But the fact is that it can! Over the past 30 years the Leprosy Mission has raised more than £1 million to benefit people affected by leprosy. Find out more here

With Spring not too far away, March sees us meet to raise money for Edwards Trust. This charity provides support for children and families facing loss and surviving bereavement in the West Midlands area.
Last month we raised £135 for Listening books. This is run by Calibre Audio Library, which is a national charity, providing a subscription-free service of unabridged audio books. Dick being a regular user of this service was delighted with the result. Come and find out more about the new history book which is now published and ready to buy. Help celebrate our year long festivities from the end of 2019 through 2020.
