Christmas is an expensive time of year and with the help of Exeter and East Devon Scouts you could reduce the amount you spend on sending christmas cards.

Christmas cards are a great way to show friends and family that you are thinking of them over the christmas period, but with it costing 50p to send a card second class it can prove an expensive way of showing people you care.

Exeter and East Devon Scouts have come up with a brilliant solution, which will not only save the people of Exeter and East Devon some pennies, but will also help a great cause.

Instead of posting your christmas cards through a Royal Mail post box, why not use the Scout's Post?

The Scouts Post sees all your cards being hand delivered to your recipent for the bargain price of 25p.

The Scouts have been delivering christmas mail in this way for over thirty years and all proceeds from this service go towards the Local Scouts and the Childrens Hospice.

The Scouts Post will deliver to properties in Exeter, Pinhoe, Topsham, Clyst St Mary, Clyst St. George, Exton, Ebford, Broadclyst, Poltimore, Exminster, Budleigh Salterton, Lympstone, Woodbury, Woodbury Salterton, Yettington, Otterton, East Budleigh and Newton Poppleford.

Post will not be delivered to other locations.

Cards can be posted from now until Saturday 21st December, with the last collection on that date taking place at noon.

Scouts Post boxes can be found at:
