More than
In November 2011 we launched our
cash4coins campaign planning to run it for
three or four months to raise further funds for
the ‘Robbie’ appeal. This was an excellent way
of supporting that need not cost a penny.
Many people have foreign coins or notes left
over from a trip abroad and usually they end
up in a drawer or in a jar in a cupboard. We
are able to turn the donations into “real”
money – whether they be Euros, Yen, predecimal coins or other long since departed
currencies such as the franc, mark and peseta.

£14k raised
So far we have raised a staggering amount of
over £14,000 comprising coins and notes from
over 55 countries, a cumulative weight of over
500 kilos!
This is simply a phenomenal response and we
are immensely grateful for the support.
We will continue to run the campaign
indefinitely and look to support a variety of
activities throughout the trust.
If you have any foreign currency you would
like to donate please contact us on
