Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!

Wanted: Postage Stamps for Charity

I am one of life's hoarders and cannot bare to see anything with value thrown away.

Years ago I collected used postage stamps for charity. They use them to sell overseas and raise money for various causes, RNIB was the one I sent them to originally.

Just before Christmas I stuck a post up and a fellow Harringay hoarder (Ruth) responded when I asked if anyone had any postage stamps that I could collect for charity. She and I have been talking about seeing if we might try for a more sustained campaign to collect anyone's used postage stamps.

So, we may find a few places to deliver them to (schools or other places), and we will let you know if we have anywhere we can drop them in future if any one is interested in saving their stamps for us. However, in the mean time, if anyone would be happy to save their stamps and periodically drop them at mine as they may be passing (or I can come pick them up) then please let me know and I can let you have my address if you do not already have it.

Every little helps, as they say!

I've got some Justin, will pop them in next time I'm passing. Thanks for doing this - I had no idea they still had any value.
