Collect your used stamps for RNIB this Christmas and make a real difference to the lives of blind and partially sighted people across the UK.  Just collect used stamps from your cards and parcels and they will recycle them into much-needed funds, that will help even more people with sight loss access the information, support and advice they need.

This is an easy way to help support the RNIB, and maybe you could ask your friends, family or work colleagues to get involved as well?  Start collecting all those stamps as they come through your postbox.  Just be sure to leave a one centimetre of envelope or packaging around each stamp!

At RNIB they love and value all stamps, whether they have already been used, first or second class, foreign, first day covers, presentation packs or albums!  Stamps are sold by weight and they raise £20 per kilogram so it is one of the easiest ways to raise money!
