Hello there! It’s Parcel Pete with you today, just thought I’d give you a little catch up of what I’ve been up to recently. On Saturday 14th September I attended The Henry Allen Appeal charity ball in Milton Keynes and what a fab night it was!
The Henry Allen Appeal:
4 year old Henry Allen is fighting against high risk Neuroblastoma, a form of cancer. As treatment in the UK is limited an appeal has been set up for him to raise the £500,000 needed to send him abroad, so far the appeal has raised over £80,000 since being set up in February.
The Charity Ball:
The Charity Ball, organised by Lisa Forrest and assisted by UK Mail employee and appeal team member Emma Boulton, has been 5 months in the making. On the night we had live music from local artists Nicky Prince and her band Soul Selecta & Katie Buckhaven, who was discovered by Michael Parkinson, raffle and silent auction with prestigious prizes. There was also an in house photographer on the night taking my snaps with guests. Local radio station MKFM was also there on the night to support the event.
Funds Raised:
We had a fantastic night; I boogied away with great people and enjoyed a slap up meal. In total the appeal raised £3397, to which ipostparcels.com’s parent company UK Mail, donated an extra £1100 taking the final amount to £4497! A brilliant achievement all round!
Hi there! It’s Parcel Pete; it’s been a while since I last updated you on what I’ve been up to. I’ve been working alongside my fellow ipostparcels.com colleagues for some fantastic charitable causes.
Summer Fete
So I first went to Bracknell to a fantastic summer fete hosted by Sandy Lane Primary School in order to help them raise money so they could make improvements to their middle playground by adding benches, play equipment and toys to enhance the children’s break and lunchtimes.
It was a great day and the weather held out, they had all sorts of fun activities such as apple bobbing, coconut shy, bouncy castle, football and hook a duck, a police car for the children to sit in, along with a host of cake stalls. It was truly a day to remember as children and parents came together to enjoy the anticipated event.
We raised £5k and UK Mail; our parent company, also donated an extra £1100 taking the final total to £6100!
Midnight Walk
I also had a bit of a late one the other night as I was taking part in a midnight walk for The Hospice of St Francis, a great charity that provides professional support and care for people with terminal illness.
There was a sea of pink walking a good 11 miles; I even donned the pink t-shirt! It was a brilliant excuse for a night out with friends also a fab way to get fit and raise money for such a worthy cause.

Now that I’ve recovered from all that fun, I’m back on the road collecting and delivering your parcels!
Hi! It’s Parcel Pete here, just giving you an update on what I’ve been up to recently as side from delivering your parcels. On Wednesday 10th April I went to visit The NSPCC, who are UK Mail’s and ipostparcels.com’s chosen charity.
NSPCC & ipostparcels.com:
As you may know ipostparcels.com is part of the UK Mail group who are one the largest mail, parcels and logistics company in the UK. As part of the group, last year we chose the NSPCC as our charity to support further in its quest to end cruelty to children. The charity also provides ChildLine and a national helpline so that any worried or concerned child or adult can call anytime for help or advice.
The NSPCC has been able to help more than 10 million children in the UK since it was founded in 1880, and as it is funded primarily by public donations, it can direct resources to where it believes the need is greatest.
Special Delivery:
Throughout the year my ipostparcels.com team and UK Mail staff have been raising money for the NSPCC through a variety of activities as well as dress down days and payroll lottery. So on Wednesday I went down to the NSPCC’s office in Birmingham to make a special delivery. In total we donated a staggering £35,300! We hope this goes a long way to help and support the great work the charity has been doing.
