Fund-raising opportunity

While a phenomenal amount of financial support has been offered by the British public to those affected by the devastation following the massive earthquake and tsunami in South-east Asia, I am writing to inform readers of another way they can help - by donating old mobile phones and printer cartridges.

These items often end up in the bin, yet they have the potential to raise a massive amount of money. As a representative of Eurosource, a company that specialises in running charity recycling appeals, I want as many people as possible to know about this innovative fund-raising opportunity.

Eurosource has pledged to give cash to the Disasters Emergency Committee for every mobile phone and printer cartridge that is recycled.

Any readers who received a new mobile phone for Christmas are urged to donate their old handset to our Tsunami Recycling Appeal. To find out what types of mobiles and cartridges we can recycle, and how much we will give to the DEC, visit www.recyclingappeal.com/tsunami To donate, visit the website or call 08712 505050 and ask for a freepost bag for the Tsunami Recycling Appeal - then drop your item in the post.
