SIR – It recently occurred to me that many of your readers will have an old mobile phone or printer cartridges tucked away in a drawer at home or at work. What they may not realise is that their unwanted items can benefit the Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation.

Old mobiles and empty printer cartridges may be recycled and the proceeds used to help fund vital research into the early detection, diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer, as well as providing valuable support for sufferers and their families. With 38,000 new cases of lung cancer being diagnosed each year and 80% of those diagnosed not surviving longer than 12 months, the disease is currently the biggest cancer-related killer in the UK.

Please help us to continue our vital work with lung cancer sufferers and their families by donating old printer cartridges and mobile phones. For details call 08712 505050 or pop your unwanted items in the post to: The Roy Castle Recycling Appeal (EL), 31-37 Etna Road, Falkirk FK2 9EG.

Janine Drew, Fundraising Manager, Roy Castle Lung Cancer Foundation
