The postcards were collected by Michelle Abadie and Susan Beale, authors of ‘Nothing to write home about’. The book, a collection of old found postcards, was published to raise awareness of Carers UK. 100% of the final sale price of these postcards will go to Carers UK.

All the postcards come with a letter of authentication and are bound to be highly collectable. The auction ends on December 7th, which is also Carers Rights Day, a national day of action run by Carers UK to alert carers to their rights.
