AS Christmas approaches we would like to thank everyone who has helped with our used stamp appeal for the Genesis breast cancer prevention centre, and ask everyone to keep collecting.

The response has been wonderful and the total for used stamps collected is heading for a million.

If you have already sent stamps thank you once again and please, please, carry on collecting, if you have not collected before please consider helping.

This is an ongoing appeal for a wonderful cause. The centre will be the first of its kind in Europe and will offer hope to thousands of women and their families.
