Mobile Phone Recycling Appeal
Mobile Phone Recycling Appeal - Can You Help Raise £200,000 for Hospice Care at Michael Sobell House?
Residents, community groups and businesses in the London Borough of Hillingdon are being asked to help raise funds for patient care at Michael Sobell House, the hospice and palliative care centre based at Mount Vernon Hospital, Northwood, Middlesex by donating their unwanted mobile phones for recycling.
With each unwanted mobile phone sent for recycling being worth on average £5 to the hospice, the Friends are hoping to raise £200,000 for patient care - the equivalent of paying for eight specialist palliative care nurses at Michael Sobell House.
The hospice is extremely dependent on fundraising and voluntary donations to continue its patient care and needs to raise £1 million pounds in 2006 to continue patient care. The hospice is financially supported by The Friends of Michael Sobell House (The Friends), a Registered Charity (No 1079638).
On average we change our mobile phones every 15 months even though they are designed to last 10 years. Most of us probably have at least one old handset if not more taking up space in a cupboard at home or an office draw at work. The mobile phone recycling appeal is an easy way to recycle your old handset which will generate much needed funds for the important work the Michael Sobell House does whilst also helping to protect the environment. Please support the appeal by recycling your old mobile phones and encouraging your friends, family and colleagues to do the same.
Up to four unwanted mobiles can be mailed direct to the recycling company, Aurom Environmental website www.aurom.co.uk in special post paid mailing bags. For a supply of bags please telephone Steve Grudgings on 01923 844606 or Geraint Hughes on 01923 844550 in the Michael Sobell House Fundraising Office. Alternatively please email recycling@michaelsobellhouse.co.uk
Could you help us further by encouraging your employer to become a collection point for unwanted company and employee mobiles?
Please feel free to forward this email to any family members, friends or colleagues that live in the Borough who might benefit from this information.
Yours faithfully,
Duncan Jones
