a good use for prizes you can't use

A club I attend was the beneficiary of a number of my smaller prizes for the monthly raffles...:)

Thanks for bumping as I hadn't seen this post before. I think this is a great idea especially when you receive runner up prizes for which you may not have entered a competition for. I will definitely make sure I send a card and present now.

Post Pals is a little different from most children's charities. A lot do amazing and grand things which create a happy memory or something to look forward to. What we do doesn't sound that grand on paper, but we provide daily smiles and support which are desperately needed when battling a life threatening illness.

Did you know we have made Ruby smile for 1235 days? We made Megan smile for 2920 days? We supported a family through years of cancer treatment and have helped a child for the 1600 days since her siblings death. We supported and helped Brooklyn for 1460 days despite him only turning 6 last week. We have even made Jayde smile for a huge total of 3116 days.

We are also different as we aren't run by paid staff in an office, instead us volunteers run Post Pals from the beds which we are confined to, with a medical team who say we sacrifice too much of our health to help make the kids smile.

We really need help to keep creating these daily smiles. We need people to send cheerful post to the children through our site https://www.postpals.co.uk, buy our badges and wrist bands (https://www.postpals.co.uk/post-pals-shop/), hold a fundraiser for us (http://www.postpals.co.uk/fundraising-details/), buy a pack of lovely greeting cards for only £5, sign up as an assigned writer (assigned a child and you send them a letter every 2 weeks), we need help from bloggers to spread the word, and we really need people to tell all their friends and family about Post Pals. We have been working hard every day for 10 years, even when in hospital, and yet very few people have heard of us.

This short video shows how much of a difference we make http://www.postpals.co.uk/about/our-video/

Please help us to create precious smiles

Excellent idea, I'm donating my Winchester inTech science and planitarium family ticket, I didn't realise how far away it was when I entered, I had the joy of winning and someone else will hopefully have pleasure of going.

What a lovely idea! I'll definitely be sending something off. It's amazing how the smallest thing can make such a difference. Thanks for bumping - wouldn't have know about it if you hadn't
