Sandie Cotterell, from Ross-on-Wye, has raised £200 for St Michael’s Hospice, and £200 for Marie Curie Cancer Care by collecting donations of stamps, birthday cards, old coins, broken watches and jewellery and unwanted mobile phones.

Sandie collects these items from a number of donation points around the town. Items can be dropped off at the Ross Gazette office, Audrey’s Fish Bar and Ross Library.

Sandie said: “Thank you to everyone who has donated items, please keep it up.”
