New Zealand Health Stamps

Here are most of the Health stamps from 1950 to 1980. My favourites by far are the 1967 to 1972 issues. The artists seems to have caught these kids enthusiasm for their sport.

Nice collection.

nice stamps thanks for share

NZ Post announced today that Health stamps will no longer be issued:

31 July 2017

In 1929 New Zealand Post worked with Children's Health Camps - now Stand Children's Services (Stand) - to create an annual stamp issue to help New Zealand's most at risk children.

Each issue had a different theme, with the aim to educate all New Zealand children and their families about good health. A donation from the sale of each stamp provided critical funding for the Children's Health Camps across New Zealand.

In recent times, mail volumes have been in decline and this has been reflected in the number of Children's Health stamps sold. Unfortunately, this has led to it no longer being financially viable for New Zealand Post and Stand to administer this stamp issue.

As a result, this annual stamp issue will no longer be continued, however New Zealand Post will continue to support the great work that Stand does by other means. September 2016 was the last date of issue for Children's Health Camp stamps, however this issue is still on sale here until 6 September 2017.

That is unfortunate. I started to collect the earlier miniature sheets last year. The modern ones are also very nice. And they were all issued for a good cause.

Thanks for letting us know.
