SIR - Once again, the Sidmouth Herald has ridden to the rescue of another charity “Help For Heroes”. In these doom-laden days, it’s nice to see some things that still work.

Your coverage of our plea for volunteers to carry a collecting tin resulted in eight stalwarts coming forward. So, once again, a really big thank you to you and your staff. We are in the town on October 2.

PS: I still have collecting tins for “Help for Heroes”, if any shop, pub, hotel or anyone who has a counter wants one.
