Save your stamps for RNIB
Collect stamps for RNIB and make a real difference to people with sight loss.
While this is not a time for meeting people, it could be a time for sending a card or a letter to someone who might appreciate the thought.
If you receive mail through the post, could you save the stamps to send to us?
We will recycle them into much needed funds.
Just put the stamps aside until you have a handful and then contact RNIB for details of how to send them in.
You can register online (below) or call 0303 123 9999.
Be a stamp collector for a good cause
- Step 1: Get pre-paid collection envelopes or boxes for your stamps by completing the request form, or by calling our Helpline on 0303 123 9999.
- Step 2: Start collecting stamps as they come through your post box or at your work. Stamps don't need to be thoroughly sorted, but it helps if you can separate them into British and foreign stamps (Channel Islands and Isle of Man count as foreign). Make sure you leave a centimetre of envelope or packaging around each stamp.
- Step 3: Pack up your envelope or box, and pop it in the post using our pre-paid address labels.
How stamps make a difference
By collecting stamps you're helping to break down the barriers that stop people with sight loss living life to the full. We accept all stamps: new or used, first or second class, foreign, first day covers, presentation packs or albums. Stamps are sold by weight and we raise £20 per kilogram of stamps, so it's a brilliant way to raise money.
Get everyone involved
Saving stamps is an easy way to support us at home, work, or in your local community. You can request a handy little collection box for your office reception, school or local community centre. We've put together a Q and A and some posters so you can get your friends, family and work colleagues involved too:
