The Eco Group is pleased to announce a new initiative to support the Royal National Institute for Blind People (RNIB) by collecting used postage stamps. This simple yet effective way of fundraising helps raise essential funds for people living with sight loss.

A collection box has been placed on the window ledge in the inner church porch, where members of the congregation and the wider community can drop off their used stamps. The church is open on Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 9:30am and 5pm and the box will be available while the church is open for regular services. Alternatively, they can be handed directly to David Ellis after a service.

To ensure the stamps are usable for fundraising, donors are kindly asked to trim each stamp with approximately one centimetre of paper from the envelope around the edge. Both British and overseas stamps are welcome, but large gold Post Office printed labels and pre-printed postage marks cannot be accepted.

Once collected, the RNIB will sell the donated stamps to generate much-needed funds that help support people with visual impairments. The money raised contributes to vital services such as accessible reading materials, technology support, and practical guidance for those affected by sight loss.

This initiative is an easy way to make a difference while recycling items that would otherwise be discarded. By donating your used stamps, you are directly contributing to a more inclusive world for those with sight loss.

For more information, please reach out to a member of the Eco Group or speak to David Ellis. Thank you for your support!
