I WOULD like to take this opportunity to thank the members of the public for their continuing support for the East Lancashire Hospice Appeal Fund.

In particular, we would like to thank the people who keep sending us used postage stamps which, in turn, are converted to cash for our appeal.

This is one of the many ways members of the public can help us to raise the £300,000 we need to run the Hospice, which provides a much-needed service for so many people and their families.

If anyone can help us in any way please don't hesitate to contact me, Stuart Andrew at the Appeals Office by phone or by post at the East Lancashire Hospice Appeals Office, Room D13, Park View Offices, Queen's Park Hospital, Haslingden Road, Blackburn, BB2 3HH. Tel: 01254 660900.

STUART ANDREW.
