Sorry, I know this is a weird request, but it's for a good cause!

I work with this group for people with learning disabilities in Cambridge. They're collecting the ring pulls from beer and fizzy drink cans for a special project, and are appealing for help. So if you have a couple of cans in your house or recycle bin, and wouldn't mind taking off the ring pulls and posting them in, it would really help. If you write "Mumsnet" somewhere on the envelope, we'll pile them all up and take a photo to show you all how many we get and what we're about to do with them.

I've heard that there may have been scams about collecting ring pulls in the past, but I can verify that this is the real deal. It will cost you a stamp, but if you can spare it the guys would really appreciate it. If you visit the page, there's an "About Us" section where you can see some of the group members and their work too!

Also, if you want to share my lost dog's page while you're on the thread, please click here. I know MN'ers have mixed views on dogs, but my little DDs would really appreciate the support. (and they faithfully promise never to forget the poo bags or let him slobber on you.)

Just seen this thread and I thought I might be too late. I'm off to raid the recycling bin and I'll post them tomorrow. Sorry I wasn't collecting the whole time.

No worries! We'll take all the rubbish we can get!

Giving this a bump for anyone who has been collecting the ring pulls and to let you know I sent a pack yesterday.

You'll have to put up a link of the project when you can.

Thanks for the bump, I have a nice little pile to send in :)

And the first ring pulls have arrived, with UKSky taking the lead so far!

I'm glad you've bumped this, I was just thinking about it.

Is the address to send to the one on the 'Contact Us' page.

fuzzypicklehead · 03/07/2012 15:21

That's the one!

Thanks, I just saw your link when I read the rest of the thread properly

One of these days I'll learn to read first BlushGrin

Just remembered this. My little pile will be with you next week.
