MANNINGTREE Rotary Club have issued an appeal for people to send in their stamps in a bid to tackle breast cancer.

Members made the decision in January to become philatelists - avid stamp collectors.

They are collecting all forms of the item, used, new, British and overseas all in aid of the charity Against Breast Cancer.

Since the start of January they have collected more than 6,000 stamps and are still on the hunt for more.

Those willing to get involved should cut them from the envelope and contact griffithsroger042@gmail.com
