Marching on through 2025 another round of slogan postmarks and other postal markings.

Without any announcement from Royal Mail's press office (why do they not promote the organisations and campaigns they support?) we had a new slogan used on 1st March.  After that I expect a return to the normal default British Heart Foundation slogan, possibly with St Patrick's Day (though we didn't see anything for St David's Day).

Examples of the new slogan below - send us anything else you get that hasn't already been shown, please.

Alongside a logo, we have this slogan supporting uksaysnomore and Hestia .

TOGETHER WE CAN
END DOMESTIC ABUSE
& SEXUAL VIOLENCE

UKSAYSNOMORE.ORG | HESTIA.ORG
 

The first example came on a letter from a customer in Cornwall - but the stamp made it impossible to work out what the postmark is all about.

UKSaysNoMore & Hestia slogan used Plymouth and Cornwall 01/03/2025


Fortunately this better image was offered by M, taken from a square envelope processed at Gatwick Mail Centre, also 01/03/2025

There should be the other layout from the other type of machine as well.

 



UPDATE 6 MARCH: In predicting other slogans in use this month I didn't refer to previous years; had I done so I would have remembered International Women's Day which Royal Mail this time did mention on social media.

My latest return from the SwapOut scheme in Edinburgh was unnecessarily put through the ink-jet machine at the Mail Centre, which is how I first saw this new slogan used yesterday, I think.
International Women's Day slogan Edinburgh Mail Centre, probably 04-03-2025

UPDATE:  Thanks to RS for this example of the slogan from Medway Mail Centre 04-03-2025

UPDATE 7 March.  Thanks to DB for this example of the other layout for the IWD slogan, from Lancashire & South Lakes (Preston) - but unfortunately with a mangled dateline.

Update 25 March.  I'm indebted to RW for a copy of the Mother's Day Slogan in use at Peterborough Mail Centre 24-03-2025.

Remember Mother's Day 30 March 2025 Peterborough Mail Centre 24-03-2025 (digitally enhanced).

UPDATE 30 March: Thanks to KD for supplying the other layout of this slogan, from Lancashire & South Lakes 26/03/2025

Remember Mother's Day 30 March 2025 Lancashire and South Lakes 26/03/2025



Remember, all postmarks appearing in March will be added to this post, so check here before you spend time scanning and emailing.
