Children hospital's plea to recycle old phones

The Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity is calling on Londoners to recycle mobile phones and printer cartridges to help raise £25,000 by the end of the year.

The money will be used to update wards. Over six years the project has already raised £75,000.

To take part, send unwanted phones and cartridges - freepost - to recycling charity Redeem, which sells them on intact or as components and returns the money raised to the hospital.

Jamie Rae, chief executive of Redeem, said: "By donating your disused phones you really can make a massive difference and help Great Ormond Street Hospital Children's Charity reach their goal that will really benefit the patients and their families."
