Oh my goodness, today is the last day of the donation page being live and we have just passed the £30,000 mark. We're overwhelmed and so grateful for all your support, help and donations. As will @VanceAdd and @Youth_Talk_SA when they each receive £15,000. Thank you from us all

[StAlbansPostboxes @SPostboxes]

It isnt too late to donate even if the toppers are now down. We are tantalisingly close to £30,000 (with Gift Aid) and we do love a good rounded number here at Topper HQ. https://t.co/4mKjfYVIwg So if you are able to donate any amount, you know the charities will be grateful.

[StAlbansPostboxes @SPostboxes]

Alison says: "The toppers bring so much joy every year. I hope the monies raised will eventually bring joy and relief to those who use the charities"

We know @Youth_Talk_SA and @VanceAdd will do their best to ensure that happens.

We are sharing this again in case you missed it over the weekend. Another lovely article on the BBC website about the postboxes and how this had been a record breaking year raising close to £30,000 for @VanceAdd and @Youth_Talk_SA https://t.co/h8D1kLFlpo

Following on from the thank you video from David, CEO of Youth Talk, there is a gorgeous letter from Debbie, CEO of @VanceAdd over on our Facebook page (it is too long to share here). For all our makers, supporters, donators, and helpers, thank you

Put it in your diary for December, Steve!

[All about Steve @1StevieKilner]

@SPostboxes @PlaylistBucket @MickleDJ @AMortalWith_ Yes, they're absolutely superb. My parents love them. If you do it later this year I shall have to pop down to visit them so I can check a few out in person. And donate too, of course!

Thank you for all the work you put into it - I know it's very much appreciated ♥️

[StAlbansPostboxes @SPostboxes]

If you scanned a QR code on one of the toppers then you could have won a prize. Check your email as all winners of the Scan and Win Trail have now been emailed. There were over 1300 entries!

Thank you so much if you entered, or donated this year

[StAlbansPostboxes @SPostboxes]

@1StevieKilner @PlaylistBucket @MickleDJ @AMortalWith_ Thank you for mentioning us Steve. We did 82 postboxes this time, every one of them different! Pics are all up on our website if you fancy a nosey

[Jen Smith, The Curious Mentor @CuriousMentor]

We are wading through emails (still) but every now and again we take a peek at the @SPostboxes donations page and do a little happy dance. https://t.co/DdzAdK3eXV

Close, so close to £30,000 when you add Gift Aid on, every penny of it being split between the two charities.

[StAlbansPostboxes @SPostboxes]

We couldn’t have asked for a better start to the New Year. Your donations are to make THE biggest difference to @Youth_Talk_SA and @VanceAdd this year. Thank you from all of us.

The link to donate will be open until the end of the month

[Jen Smith, The Curious Mentor @CuriousMentor]

Here's the final one coming down... @claremcdonnell1 @bbc5live @BBC3CR @JustinDealey @SPostboxes

[StAlbansPostboxes @SPostboxes]

We are in the process of taking all the toppers down and giving them a well earned dry out in the warm.

The link to donate will be open for a little longer but we would love to nudge it up from 95% of our target in time for the new year https://t.co/4mKjfYVIwg

Can you help?

#Films & online talks & online #dance & #telly...From my #Instagram Top 9 of 2021 it's clear to see that I need to get off the sofa & get out a bit more....Don't we all 🙄 (At least the @SPostboxes #postboxtoppers made it!) #Top9 #top9of2021 #instagramtop9

[ADD-vance ADHD and Autism Trust @VanceAdd]

So close to the @SPostboxes target! Currently at 96%. Let's get them over the target by the end of 2021. All donations go to ourselves & @Youth_Talk_SA allowing us to help local families and young people throughout 2022. Thank you.
