THE collection of used postage stamps for Hospiscare, the cancer-care charity that helps children, adults and their families, continues each year in South Zeal, Belstone, Sticklepath and Okehampton,

Stamps recycled through Hospiscare not only raise funds for the organisation that has to be predominantly self-supporting but also posses therapeutic values for patients who remove them from envelope corners and prepare them for sale.

Before putting envelopes in the recycling bin, just tear off the envelope corner with the stamps on and pass them on to a Hospiscare helper or to your preferred charity that recycles stamps.

Any that can be spared for Hospiscare will be welcomed at the Hospiscare shop in Okehampton or at Buttercup Cottage, South Zeal.
