A unique charity auction for the National Literacy trust

We've raised a total of £80,000 for the National Literacy Trust thanks to the success of Pushing the Envelope campaign; help us again in 2012 so that lives can be changed through literacy

The Pitney Bowes Pushing the Envelope campaign is entering its seventh year - celebrities are invited to design an envelope, all of which are one-off original works of art which are then auctioned for charity.

Many celebrated actors, writers, illustrators, artists and entertainers have lent their support, including Grayson Perry, Dame Helen Mirren, Philip Pullman, John Knapp-Fisher, Quentin Blake and JLS.

Our theme for 2012 is 'What inspired your success', and the envelopes and words of inspiration will be auctioned in March 2012. We look forward to your support.
