RNIB Stamp Donation

After answering a plea in the Worthing Herald for used postage stamps our showrooms stepped up and have been collecting old stamps from both customers and staff, all to be donated to the Royal National Institute of Blind People. The RNIB provide help and support to those suffering partial complete blindness across the UK and rely on a great deal of fundraising throughout the year to keep them going.

On Wednesday, Sally from our Worthing branch presented Sue and Howard who collect stamps for the RNIB with the final collection of stamps, totalling over 17,000! These stamps are sorted by volunteers like Howard and Sue and then sold in large batches at special auctions up in London with all proceeds going to the charity.

During 2015-2016 the RNIB raised an a amazing £25,017.70 through the sale of used postage stamps and are aiming on beating that total this year. All of our showrooms are continuing to collect your used postage stamps, both UK and overseas, for donation to the RNIB to help them reach their target so that they can continue to provide the crucial services they offer.

So if you've got any old envelopes kicking around drop them into your local showroom and help support this important charity. For more information on the RNIB and to get help and support visit their website here.

Update: We are still collecting stamps at all of our branches but all money raised is now going towards the Bone Cancer Research Trust rather than the RNIB
