Foreign Coin Collection
Alongside the post card collection box there is now another box, in aid of the same charity (Mission Aviation Fellowship - MAF) where u3a members can donate any odd foreign currency they may have left over from their trips abroad. In addition to foreign coins redundant British coins may be donated. All gratefully received!
Hazel Scott will be taking care of this.
Spare Knitting Yarn
Please could you donate any spare knitting yarn? This will be knitted up into blankets, teddy bears and so on for Ukraine. Thank you all for your support!
As usual there will be a box at General Meetings for your donations.
Organiser: Sue Stoker
Discarded Spectacles
If you have any discarded spectacles could you please bring them to the General Meetings? There will be a box available at the back of the room where they can be placed. Your gratefully received donated specs will be sent to Ukraine.

Postcard & Foreign Currency Donation Charity
Instead of recycling or discarding postcards which you receive, mostly during the holiday season, you may wish to donate them to the above charity - when you have finished enjoying them of course. This charity flies into remote areas of the world, such as Papua New Guinea and Sierra Leone delivering education, supplies, and health workers to the poorest communities. More details can be found on their website. https://www.maf-uk.org. It is a Christian charity which may not suit everyone, but the work they do is vital and life saving. In order to raise funds, picture postcards are collected - written on or not, old or new - and sold by the charity.
A MAF box for the collection of your post card donations will be available at our monthly General Meetings.
Alongside the post card collection box, in future there will be another box, in aid of the same charity, where u3a members can donate any odd foreign currency they may have left over from their trips abroad.
Used Stamps
Once again thank you for those of you who have been bringing in your used stamps. We are now donating stamps to the British Heart Foundation and we should appreciate your trimming the stamps as shown.
