Stamps appeal

With more than 72million letters delivered each day, the UK’s leading sight loss charity, the Royal National Institute of Blind People (RNIB) is urging the public to save their used stamps to help raise vital funds for blind or partially sighted people.

Every day, 100 people in the UK start losing their sight and RNIB can only reach one in three of the people who need our help most.

All funds raised will go towards offering information, support and advice to anyone with a sight problem.

If you are able to help, the charity asks collectors to leave at least half a centimetre of envelope around the stamp to prevent damage.

Please send your used stamps to: RNIB, PO Box 6198, Leighton Buzzard, LU7 9XT.

And if you would like to find out more about this fund-raising campaign, please email [email protected]
